Where is the best/cheapest place to get a 2.5" cowl for an 83?

The Harwood was $463, while the Champion was $270. Any quality differences? Twotone, how do you like yours?

Thanks

I like the hood just fine. The quality was great, but I am not a body man, and I had trouble getting it to line up properly. I dont think someone with better skills would have a problem with it. They come partially prepped, and you have sand them down smooth before priming, so I amnot sure how they compare to other brands.

Total, box and all was 320 to my door. They are delivered by tractor trailer. Just remember, fiberglass hoods are thicker than steel hoods which will require adjustment of the hood stops and I had to trim the rubber stops on the fenders as well. I would have to say thatI am satisfied with the product.

I know what that is like, I purchased the hood, wing, wheels and tires, and all new paint supplies within 2 weeks. I spent a chunck! And that was after putting a new top on her 2 months prior!
