as for hoods, i like this style but i would prefer it fiberglassish and matched paint.
I figure it would be functional in the from of air cooling the turbo as their mounted towards the rear.

I don't know of a single car where that style was first about practicality, second looks;
it's always been about looks over anything else...

the first time that Chevrolet used that style hood, it was a completely non-functional bolt on addition to 1978 & 1979 Camaro Z28's.

you eitehr need cowl induction taking from the low pressure area at the base of a car's windshield, or the forward edge of the hood - as far forward, and as high up as possible, as to take it out of the airflow "bubble" that a car just naturally/aerodynamically makes...

it looks fantastic though...

I'm going to have to disappoint you on both guesses Dustin;
If I was going to pony that kind of money on a car right now, it would be to set up my '70 Firebird as my "get away car"...
