    My 72 LT-1 Hood's New Paint Pics

    Picked it up today. Not a perfect match but it's a lot closer than before.
    I'm happy with it and I'm going to install it tomorrow.
    Here's a pic of the terrible paint match. You can really see the shade difference between the outside and inside of the stripe.

      Will do Roy. The wife says the hood has gotta go from the breakfast table.

          Hi Bryan,
          I think the paint and stripes look terrific in your pictures.
          Apparently the same rules apply to hoods and kitchen tables as to bumpers under dining room tables!
          Happy New Year!
          Regards,
          Alan

                Alright,the hood is off the breakfast table and on the car. My lovely wife even helped me with the install and alignment. Here's a few shots at different angles. Not too bad. A judge would be able to pick it out a mile away. Maybe a repaint somewhere down the road, but for now, I'm just going to drive and maintain it.



                And a shot of the engine bay. Sorry, I got carried away with the pic taking.

                  Nice car! Love the color. Good thing it's off the kitchen table. Otherwise, the wife may start to take over the garage!

                        Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement. I guess the biggest difference I can tell between the hood paint and rest of the car is the metal flake.

                          I have the same car in Targa Blue and I have always had the rally wheels n the car but I'm beginning to think I need to break out my PO2's and get them on the car for a change of pace. Nice job!
