" I've never seen a SB car with a 65-66 BB hood."
I have had two of them. I had a 1965 365 h.p. car that came to me with a 65/66 BB hood and at the same time I had a 1966 SB car that I traded hoods with the 1965 365 car and ended up with the car above.
I too fell in love then the 65-66 BB hood long ago. This summer I saw an ad for sidepipe covers, I immediately made arrangements to buy them. When I arrived, the guy asked if I wanted this hood he had too, they were both off of his 65 BB he bought new, and raced for years. He had changed the intakes/carbs, & modified the hood to make it fit with a taller rise, added a spine, and some odd indentations. Anyway I think its cheesy but I took it...
My plan is to add the correct BB side vents, I have already bought them, I will remove the spine & indentations, and to rework the top to more of a stock looking hood with a larger rise. It's pretty cheesy as it is, but I have a vision for it. I have made many molds, one off race boat parts, and i have done a ton of fiberglass work, so we will see how rusty I am some time in the future...

I think it looks kind of cool. I think I would leave it the way it is and be different from everybody else .

This is the image I was referring to regarding Mr. Jack. As we call him in these parts.
