In all the years I've been a member here, this is the first poll I've done -- so let's hear from you!

I am finishing up a restro-mod of my grandpa's '74 and chose the Pro-Flow hood from Wild Horses. It's a high quality hood, and I've always loved the look of the lines on our little bobtails. However, I'm not sure if I like the look on "this" Bronco. It's uncut in case you can't tell by the pics.

Give me your opinions -- keep the bad ass hood, or go back to stock.

i'm a big fan of the OEM hood lines. i like the classic look they have and if you can keep it a sleeper i think is a plus.

I Would Go Back To Stock
Uncut = Original Hood !
The Proflow Should Be On Something With At Least 36" Wheels And Black Fender Flares !

the pro flow is sweet, but i think stock would look better on this build. i like the sleeper mentality as well.

I think we need to see it outside, full side shot and front 3/4 shot.

The wheels and stance will make a difference. I'm on the fence. Normally I'd say uncut and small lift = stock hood but its hard to say without better pics.

Great looking paint though!

I agree with most of the others.. For an uncut stick with the stock hood. If it was cut with flares I would go with the pro-flo

The pro-flow is the best looking hood out there. Keep it!! Don't listen to all of the "keep it natural" folk.

I said stock. I think the Pro-Flow is one of the coolest hoods, but it doesnt quite look right on this one....actually, I shouldnt say that. I agree with the above poster we need side shots and a few other angles...my first impression however was 'not so much'.

The build overall looks totally sweet though. Nice paint!

I'd go with stock...or atleast one without such a high scoop. this is where street mods transfer over to trucks and it's usually not a good transition. unless, you were going to lower the stance on your EB and make it similar to a "lowrider", then I could see the use of such a high scooped hood. But an EB lowrider is just a sin...lol.

Do what you want. You are the one that's going to drive it at the end.

I agree. An outside picture would help. But based on what I see it looks effen kick-ass now. So I say keep the ProFlow.

Nice build I like the hood just not on the stocker looking truck. But a view from the side may change my mind.

The stock hoods are way better looking in my opinion, I can't wait till I have one again.

I say stock hood on that beauty. The Pro-Flow is bad asss, but I don't think it goes with the rest of the truck.
