Here is a photo of my newly painted 427 Hood. I did it in lacquer to match the 40 year old paint that's on the car. Lyndale Blue is tough to match but I got it right, thankfully.

Man, that is beyond beautiful.

Lynndale Blue, IMO, is one of the best ever colors on a C2, and with a stinger hood; perfection.

Never been. I'm on the North Fork and it would be a bit of a ride these days. BTW, I don't Tow anything anymore. Back in the 70's I would drag a Ski Boat around with Four kids and the MRS. Al W.
