Details & Inspection Notes

This 2 inch cowl hood is a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock hood on a 1968 Chevy II or 1969-1972 Nova, using the factory hinges and latch assembly rather than requiring new mounting hardware.

What to check before buying

Being steel rather than fiberglass, this hood is built to hold its shape without flexing or warping over time, and the underside is fully finished to a factory-style look rather than left raw. It arrives in a black electro coat finish, which is a rust-protective sealer rather than primer or paint.

Installation

Standard body work, such as test fitting, sanding and priming, is needed before paint can go on, and getting it painted and mounted by an experienced body shop is worth considering, given the trim and gap work a cowl hood involves. It fits a 1968 Chevy Chevy II or 1969-1972 Chevy Nova.

Does this hood use the stock hinges? Yes, it uses your vehicle's stock hinges and latch assembly.

Does it come painted? No, it arrives in black electro coat and needs standard prep and paint.

Performance Installation & Verification Checklist

  • Disconnect vehicle battery ground terminal before installing any electrical, sensor, or powertrain hardware.
  • Inspect all vacuum lines, fuel lines, and wiring harness connectors for secure, leak-free engagement.
  • Calibrate electronic sensors, boost control solenoids, and ECU maps according to manufacturer instructions.
  • Perform initial datalogging check under light load before subjecting vehicle to wide-open throttle.
