Thanks for all the help Tony and I agree 100% I don't want to buy another Hood if I can avoid it and I like the sleeper look of the SS hood. I'm planning on going by Summit tomorrow and buying a 14 inch drop base and giving it a try this weekend.

Personal choice, I preffer the stock SS hood over Cowl hood any day ( but thats just me), especially the '67 SS hood.

Lots of fab work, but I'd consider modifying the SS hood somehow ( building the cowl scoop between the bulges for the extra clearance, etc) before I'd put a generic cowl hood on... But sometimes, it might be the easiest ( and least expensive)...

I'd say the drop-base is at least 1 to 1-1/2 lower, plus that aircleaner on yours looks like it sits pretty high on the carb ( maybe an inch from bottom of filter to the ac mounting surface on carb), I don't remember mine sitting up that much off the carb ( but it does have to clear the accelerator pump on the Edel carb, so it can't be flush)...
