Something not right here
 
Notice anything funny with the red Chevelle hood that I saw at the swap meet yesterday. I also notice the green Chevelle the stripes are not painted correctly. Went to the swap meet here in Portland to see if there was anything I could not live with out. Came home almost empty handed. The little yellow car would be a great car for my grandson down the road. It's on a go cart frame.

Ok, I give. Whats wrong with the red hood? Looks ok to me.

Don't like the custom stripes on the green Chevelle.

I remember using those oil dispensers and old oil receptacles.

Too plain lookin for me.

Awesome 32 Roadster replica.

Looks like an after market fiberglass hood. Clip lanyards look too short.

It's not fiberglass. The center of the hood is bent down over the grille. It should be more flat.

I think its just the angle of the camera that did that. Green car camera angle was lower. Maybe its my old eyes.

I just saw a pic on FB of a '70 ElCamino with the same exact hood. Maybe that's a ElCamino hood on a Chevelle. They both have the "Widows Peak" shape.

Ray, check your email.

EDIT: Nevermind the email Ray. I found what I needed.

To me the red one's hood makes the headlights look funny. The green one's custom stripes just look funny. Just my 2 cents.

Ken Hayes 04-06-2014 08:21 PM

The headlights have eyelids on them.....that's old school.

The hood almost touches the grille in the center. I wished I had taken a better picture. When you are standing in front of it you can really see how much the center is bent down.
