I suppose this will be a stupid question, but such a hood can't make use of the windshield washer jets can it?

Yes you can use your washers. But you have to tell me at the time of order, and they can make the hole. Or you can do it yourself with a dremel tool or equivalent. Not so stupid of a question after all. I am glad you asked.

That's an excellent question. I'll bet no one even thought of it. I know I didn't.
AND---
1. Since I've never had anything like this before, how will it hold up in an Ohio winter--snow, salt, slush, etc? Is it advisable to switch hoods like we do with rims?
2. I also have the Redline Hood Lift kit--will it work with this hood? Not only as far as mounting goes, but would it put undue stresses on the hood when it's being opened or closed? I had a 78 Chevy Blazer that required hood stiffener bars so it wouldn't buckle when you closed it. The last thing I'd want is a cracked hood.
3. As far as colors go--is green available and where on the web would you suggest I look for a color example?
And I am soooo interested in the cowl hood--it's got to look good!

I am not that familiar with the redline kit. But If it bolts up to the stock hood than it will on this hood. Also I don't think you will have to worry about the stress, The fiberglass frame is strong, and those type of hood props won't put alot of tension of the frame itself. I will look around for color samples. I belive green is available. Now if your intrested in the cowl hood, the washer nozzels may not look as good than, but its all up to you. I hope to have a pic of the cowl mocked up on the hood middle of next week.

The Redline Hood Lift kit are 2 hydralic cylinders that lift and hold the hood open instead of using the prop rod. I don't know how to post a picture but if you go to my site, you can see them in my engine pix. I'll look forward to your pix of the cowl hood. BTW, how about our Ohio winters, will they be detrimental to the hood?

Your hood should be fine. The clear coat that comes with it is like any other automotive clear coat thats protecting your cars paint now. Just keep it waxed like you would normaly.

The cowl is problay as close as your gonna get. But it does work well for airflow. Thats the reason behind using it. Air flows through the upper grill, into the engine bay,and out back of the scoop. Most vents don't create enough air flow, and still leave stagnet hot air in the compartment.
