Well, had the new hood painted after sitting in storage for a year and got it on the car yesterday. 
Complete with a pair of 400 emblems from a firebird to give a hint at what's under the hood!!

The hood looks a bazillion times better than the rest of the car
Next stop, get the rest of her painted to match!!

It also appears that you and I could both use a bigger garage.....

Paul, looks real nice, where did you get the hood from?
And how do you like your floor tiles?

Hood came from Vanacorvette http://vanacorvette.com/ Great company. Real nice people. Even gave me a veterans discount...
Nearly a bolt on install. I had to file the hood hinges a bit to get her to like up.
Love the floor. Can withstand a jack holding the car up.
Tux, there is just too much keerappp in my garage. 4 kids worth (5 if you count me!!).
Thanks

hood looks nice Paul, i had to do the same with the hinges on mine to get it to line up. I`m a little upset with the manufacturing of mine. the scoop slopes a little on the passenger side in result my ram horm air cleaner just touches the corner. Mine came from ecklers,( 2nd one) didn`t like the first one at all. Glad it worked for you.
