If I'm correct, the early 3rdgen Camaros all had fiberglass hoods. Try to get one of these from a boneyard. It will probably cost around 100.

I agree ,someone should make a stock looking fiberglass hood.For some reason the aftermerkrt thinks if you want a light hood then you must want a 4in. cowl on it.Start calling them.
