There is more than you think available for the early fox cars, you just have to know where to look.
I recommend joining Welcome to FourEyedPride.com they will point you in the right direction |

I'm doing an 84 right now, just got this hood from Boss Inc., they don't even have it on their website yet, but is available if you call them. Fits 79-86  
Finished underneath and very reasonably priced, also try Fox Restoration.

Are you sure that it'll fit the '79-'82 front end and cowl grill? The '79-'82 hoods are different than the '83-'84 and the '85-'86 style hoods. Also, the body lines on the '79-'82 hoods match up with the cowl grill and nose pieces of the '79-'82's, both of which are different than the later model units.
I know that your hood will bolt on but it may not match the body lines. |

hoods are different 79-82 and 83-86
the 83-86 has a small section that drops down above the grille, 79-82 is more or less straight across
79 
83  |

Damn. And here I have an '80 Capri and an '84 Mustang in the driveway, and I never noticed that. 
Er, wait ... the Capri has an '83 hood on it, so it should be the same as the '84 'Stang. Ummm ... never mind.  |

There is a dip in the middle but it's shorter and more abrupt.

The Capri hoods are also a bit longer front to back.
Maier Racing makes a couple hoods for '79-82 and they're great quality and cheaper than a Cervinis '97-93 hood.
Or you could look for an '82 GT scoop or Pacecar cowl, both are a bit hard to find though. |
