Default Request for pics

I would like to see pics of a short L 88 style hood top,bottom and structure functioning and non functioning. I am contemplating cutting an Ecklers long L 88 to a short to accommodate the wiper door unless someone wants to trade. thank you

Save your long hood. By the time you cut it, the hood latches and related hardware will not match up.

Sell your long hood and purchase an aftermarket 68-69 L-88 hood.

Default hood pics

This hood was already on my car so the latches are the same.This long hood is worthless to me but if I can save $700.00 then its worth it to me the only difference is length on the back side.

Genuine L-88 hoods had airboxes bonded to the under side.



The Craigslist hood is aftermarket and has no air box.

Are you after the L-88 look, or an actual functioning cowl induction hood?
