Cowl Induction Hood for Torino ELITE

When I purchased my car the nut from the air filter had already banged a couple dents into my hood. Rather then CUT my existing hood, and adding a scoop. I would like to find somewhere that sells cowl induction hoods FOR a Torino ELITE. But I can only find them for regular Torinos.

Anyone know a place worth checking?

If not, anyone know a good site for purchasing DIY hood scoops?

Thanks.

Re: Cowl Induction Hood for Torino ELITE

Well, it is not much help, but I had at one point grafter a spare center section off a damaged 1972 Torino Sport hood, complete with the support structure onto an elite hood 7-8 years back...and the lines matched pretty decent.
About the only option you are going to have is getting a fiberglass hood made up {not going to be cheap by any means, IF you can find someone willing to do it}
Otherwise, I would find a spare hood, and either get a scoop welded or rivited to the spare elite hood.
Part of your problem is the elite has it's own shape on the hood not shared with a standard torino...unless you go to alot of trouble to modify your header panel so you could use a fiberglass sport hood.
