Yellow72,

Is this a factory L88 hood or aftermarket. If aftermarket do you know where it came from. The hood looks SWEET!

It's the original stock smallblock hood with an Eckler L-88 scoop I molded to it when I painted the car in '96 :cheers:

x, I've mentioned before how well the Eckler scoop fit the hood...so it was just a mater of positioning the scoop where I thought it looked best front to back. I scribed a line around it and cut and inch or so inside that line. I cut out the the hood leaving some rear section so the cut was a rectangle hole, in other words I didn't completely cut out the back edge of the hood. HTH
