I like your hood but are you going to paint it or is the car made to look like the great north's flag?

This is the only side shot that I could find. Now the car is totally disassembled. I can send pics of the hood only if you would like.

Just a thought after seeing the ACI hood, this may be a less expensive alternative. I would have to get the scoop to see how it really fits but heres a 1980-82 Z28 scoop with functional cowl induction flappers at the rear. It seems like the scoop would follow the lines of the 1980-82 Vette hood pretty nicely. Heres a poor photoshop look.

just a thought.

It's just me again. Check out the avitar. I have had many more positive comments then negative. But since it's my car and I realy like it, Thats all that matters. I still have the original though. Aftermarket Ecklers bolt on.

Here's my first attempt at doing a fiberglass hood. I bought the hood and had to raise it about one inch to clear my carb hat. I still like the L-88 hoods the best but this one is growing on me.
