Small Block Hood
I'm looking at replacing the hood on my 67. It has what I'm told is a 66 hood with the emblem on the left front corner.
Question is, are the holes on the underside, that are used to access the emblem studs, filled in or drilled open like the 66 hood?
No reply on the TDB.
Thx

The 67 doesn’t have those holes.

thank you that is what I have been told! I was also told that you could see an imprint or the embossing of these circles but they were not drilled or opened up?
I’m wondering if a very early 67 August car could have a 66 hood with the holes drilled open?

This is my question. I'm getting different information...Some are saying there are no holes in the underside of the frame (and no emblem holes) on the '67 hood.
Now, this brings up another question....if the 67 had the access holes (which mine does), someone in the past "could" have simply installed the emblem on my car.....? Oh boy....lol

but my 67 BB hood doesn’t have any access holes ( but the frame differs from SB and 65/66 BB hood frames).
