That type of hood was originally designed for a big block Hilborn/Kinsler cross ram fuel injection for the Greenwood racers, ACI has it

as was just stated, it was developed way back then, and i think it just looks really dated, its way too 70's for me....i know its a custom item, but i think custom should stay with the times, and right now, you're car is too sweet to put that hood on. but that car its on is awesome besides the hood, the wheels look great with the spinner hubs.

I like the stinger hood but I think it looks better on older C3s like yours with the flat rear deck.... looks perfect on a chrome bumper IMO.... I think it would look out of place with my bubble window and the spoilers... .... I guess I need (want) a "wild" hood, not the Corvette Summer hood of course but a little more aggressive than stock or the L88. I do not like the two openings in the TwinTurbo style hood.

What ever happened with Budman and the Z06 style opening in the front of his hood?
