Definitely different, but they seem to fit the lines of the hood nicely

They're from Meacham...I have an earlier thread on here where I was trying to decide and posted a link. They only made one hood like this for a project truck several yrs ago. They're better known for their Vette hoods
but I think they make TA/FB hoods as well.

Crooked adds a little DIY touch...donchathink?
Its still in process of finish fitting. I did more measuring and fitting last nite. Ran into a few issues with the drip pans that cud require some alterations, but Meacham is working with me on it. Once a drill the holes for the exchangers they'll sit smoothly as the vents are touching the hood on the inside corners...R/
