The 79 and earlier hoods have a different "power bulge". The raised part of the hood is squared off towards the front where the 80-82s narrow down in front.
Will fit, just not correct looking.

Then go with the 80 hood.
 
 
Eckler makes good fiberglass.

The best fiberglass comes from Sermershiem.  They are the supplier the top restorers use.  I don't know if they sell retail or not.
