Default Paging Bamavettes...

Bama -

where'd you get the hood on your '69? (or '68, I can't remember). Is it a Motion hood, or is it custom, or what? I like the look of it, and I'm going to need more room under my hood after my engine swap.

Thanks-
Jeff

It is a old Balwin hood. I know several people who have spent a lot of time trying to find one with no success, but there was a discussion on this board a few months ago and a couple of people said Joel Rosen still sells these hoods.

I don't think he does. His web site is selling china dolls and some wierd stuff, but nothing automotive.

Thanks!

I've got a friend that does body work, and a line on a bb hood. Looks like I'll be buying a scoop and making my own version.
