L88 hood
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...cf7fb6c574.png
A guy near me has a hood for $250. It looks like the only damage is where the hood prop bolts on (pictured). I know nothing about fiberglass repair, or the inner structure of these hoods. Is it worth it, or should I pass. |

That was originally a small block hood that someone has glassed over with a L88 profile.
The hood prop area is easy enough to repair. The value of the entire hood in general is up to you. |
Thanks. I’m not concerned about if it’s a real L88. But yes I can see the small block pattern from the underside now that you mention it. I’m really just looking for more hood clearance to run a Performer RPM. Is there any reinforcements that have to be added there?

Thank for the input everyone. I think I’m gonna pass on this. I just can’t afford a new one right now, so if anyone knows of one at a good price please let me know. L-46man I’m in your area (Mesa).

Batty...I gathered that....I'll keep an eye out for ya.
Good luck! UnkaHal |
I have one that I’m not planning to use on my 68. It’s in very good condition and currently in gray primer. I’ll make you a good deal on it, but it will be a little more than the one in your post. It’s an aftermarket hood. Let me know via a PM if you’re interested.

only good idea he had was making part of that scoop able to get rid of some heat...fixable but a bad hack job.
Some guys need to shut the tool box. That hood may be worth 40 or 50 to a guy was good with glass, otherwise its scrap. |
Batty....lets flip this around....you state paraphrasing...you want more clearance underhood. Have you thought of drop-down aircleaners...designed for just this purpose....they are wide and go DOWN around the carb, yet have good flow area.?????
