When I ordered my steel hood from Moss a few years ago, it was only $110.
That may have been a sale price.

I would think you could route a cold air duct through the radiator diaphragm
(there already is a nice round hole, that you could enlarge). The grill
opening will see a lot higher pressure than anywhere on the hood.
