Stinger Hood
I would like a stinger hood for my 67 convertible. Does anyone have recommendations on where to buy? And if a reproduction part, what all parts do I need besides the hood with the stinger to make it a functional hood that will fit on the car? I live in New Orleans. (Edited). Thanks

Also, except for the L88 hoods in 1967, the 67 BB hoods were non-functional, so you don't have to worry about making it so. Simply for decorative purposes. Besides a good painter and perhaps a stencil kit for the stinger, you will also need to buy a hood insert.
Good Luck with it. C.J.

I got one for my 67 from Ecklers. It was on sale and only about $500 bucks. Spend the money and get a better one unless you like making things. I had to make the inside fiberglass part as they were not in stock anywhere at the time. Made a mold, and fiberglassed a part. Then, spent inordinate hours Bondoing and sanding the underside of the hood to get it flat as it had wavy exposed raw fiberglass. Endless Bondo and sanding but I got it flat and smooth. It finally came out looking great but the amount of work that it took and prep to paint it was just excessive.

I have a Stinger on my '66 SBC Sting Ray. I'm not a huge fan. It was installed, I am sure, for air cleaner clearance so at least if there's a functional reason I can accept that. I like the SB hood better for looks though. On my hood there may be a very minor cowl induction benefit; there is an open air passageway. Maybe a minor effect if you squint and look sideways just right, maybe.

Just my $0.02, if you don't have a big block (at least you have a 67), keep w/the flat hood.
Not my thing being a "poser". You pop the hood and the people around will have the face of disappointment.
