Re: driving without hood?
One way to find out? there isn't any law against it in Texas, had a friend that I used to go cruisin with in his 69 Nova with the hood off to show off the big chrome stack that wouldn't fit with the hood on, we got harassed by the cops on many occasions, but he never got ticketed for having the hood off.

I'm almost certain that you are not aloud to drive without a hood. However, that did not stop me after I got my cam installed and my engine tuned. I should also point out that I live in a small town so nobody really cares.

You know what I say, its always better to ask for forgivness than permission. And if you get caught put your "GOLLY I DIDN'T KNOW" look on. Any how if the cops a red blooded american he'll kwow how important shake down runs are.....(and how much fun they are).
