This one is not photoshopped. It's currently getting bodyworked in the garage.

i put one on a 70 Nova in the 90s...did it exactly like that..back then..it was difficult to find a donor hood...because there where no reproductions..so i searched for a wrecked hood, because i could even fathom cutting up a mint hood..
had some serious time in it, thats for sure..migged it..took most of the day i remember..doing spots..geez it was carzy..but i was so excited before i even got the thing painted, one of the Nova supplier specialists put one on a Nova, and was on the cover of their catalog...cant even remember the company now, but i thought i had an original idea..oh well..i loved that car...
painted the car red..had a 454 and a 4 speed...and the hood looked like factory when i was done..its the car that got me hooked on 68-72 Novas..i did 9 of them in 3 years...they where everywhere...and dirt cheap..all but one got big blocks and 4 speeds...i worked on the line at a big independent bodyshop..and spent 3 years there working days and on my cars after hrs..., 12-14 hrs a day and loved it..miss all i accomplished..thats for sure...
now i cant even look at one with out rolling my eyes.."never again" i say, but i dunno..i burnt myself out on Novas..i loved them, just dont want to work on another............ever..lol..
