Yeah I know how you are Mike! I guess I'll have to do more research on the 'ol net until I can come up with something. I don't mind going for a drive if it means I can inspect the hood before I buy it. Considering how much work went into the 'glass hood on the Elky, I'm trying to find an easier (cheaper) route. Thanks. Herb

The one we went with was the second one. The first we refused. It was maybe six inches out. I buy those type of parts from Classic Muscle. They deliver to us daily with no freight charge. (to the body shop) They are a div. of Modern Chevrolet and a huge supplier of body panels in our State. Harwood does not list a 66 cowl hood. According to Claude we would have had much less time fitting a glass hood. The overall quality of the hood was good, it was just way out square. You know how peculiar I am about fit.

Could it have been damaged during shipping? As for Harwood, I was trying to stay away from a 'glass hood this time around. If that's the best way to go, then I guess I won't have much choice.

It was a major pain to make fit. When I set the hood on the floor, one corner was 4" off the floor. It was made worst by the use of aftermarket fenders. If Harwood makes one buy it. From my experience their hoods are worth the price difference.
