That is quite the hole.....:wacko:

Was it on some sort of field car?

 

I would cut out the humps and trash the rest.

 

ditto, they graffed them onto other hoods, with nice results

 

I would not be surprized that a talented metal man could repair either one .

 

where did you find the hood? In 68, I put a Weinand high rise and Holley carb on my SS. The hood wouldn't close so cut a hole in the top, put a painted black piece of sheet metal across the top and away I went. The hood went missing along with the drive-line in 72. Are there any traces of Royal plum paint on the underside? Just maybe it will lead to the discovery of my drive-line. Thanks, John:hurray:

 

Do you see the alan screws just in side of the of the ss insets? I was wondering what those were for but what your saying about the sheet metal kinda makes since. The car this hood was on was running around Mesa Ca which is near San Diego. When they stole your hood did they get the piece that you cut out as well?

 

Ditto. Here's another from my collection, a 64 with 67 faux scoops .

Sorry, have to ask what "og" is?

 

Short for original. Not repo.

 

When I was a kid my DAD had a 67 El Camino with a 396 and SS hood etc. Some clown had taken about 5 gallons of BONDO and filled the humps in solid so it would lok like a cowl induction type hood.

 

Ok :thumbsup: Always thought orig. was the accepted method of abbreviating original but in today's twitter-world I guess anything goes.

 

I sold the car in 68, the piece that I cut out was in the trunk, would have been Royal plum. We used some kind of fastener, can't remember what but it held the sheet metal on that was stuck on the humps. After looking the photos over a little better, we actually did a better job of cutting the hole out than that. Did get me excited for a while though. Thanks for responding, John

 

Anyone have any ideas on what the cost should be to graft those 67 humps onto another hood. I have an original excellent 67 flat hood and an original 67 SS hood thats rough but maybe between the two I could come up with a nice SS hood.
