Post Side view and driver's perspective of a cowl hood?

I have combed the FAQ and other websites for a side view and driver's perspective of cowl hood. Anybody have some to post? I would be proud to own any of the trucks shown in some of the other threads with other types of hoods, but the day I saw my first 69 Z28 I was in love with a the single center cowl.

I don't think you'll see a photo from the driver's view. I have never seen one. Anyone out there have a shot?????

i don't have a L but i just got the cervinis cowl hood for my 97 F-150. same hood for the L. i won't be getting it painted for awhile because of some other things i want to do first but i'm going to be test fitting it soon and i'll take those shots if you don't mind seeing a white hood on a blue truck. give me about a week.

nytling92 - I'd be interested in seeing pics of this regardless of the color difference. The cowl hood has been on my to do list for some time now and it would be interesting to see it from the drivers point of view.

nytling and ******,
does the cervini cowl hood angle toward the windshield with a swoop like the 69 Z28, or is it squared off?

There were a few PICS posted when I first purchased my hood, in the white gelcoat. There were also some posted when I had it painted. Since I cannot upload my PICS to zing I would mail them to someone to have them posted here. I have a few PICS from the drivers side....

here are those shots, the fit on the hood was excellent. now just have to work on my many other projects on this truck to keep it going.

showing the height of the cowl

drivers veiw

an agressive look

and a pass side profile. i really like this hood. it is a bit heavier than our original hood, i think my original hood is aluminum, anybody know for sure? i heard that the L hood is, and a magnet won't stick to mine.

I have to agree, The fit with Cervini's is great....you get what you pay for, good quality stock hood is Aluminum with a weight around 14 lbs. My Cervinis Cowl tips the scales at 43 lbs.
