I disagree.... The beauty of that car is in it's simplicity...not all rigged up, doesn't need a thing IMO.

Flat hood will go eventually, but its a mod I'm going to have to do after i get the car running.  Figured that I would just make it a shaker when the time came.  There's a 410 stroker under that lil flat hood, running straight headers it sounds crazy mean!! 2.02 heads 525 lift 294 duration solid cam and lots of goodies 8)

Good looking car  :2thumbs:  Sounds like you have a good setup under the hood if you like big blocks.   :stirpot:

Man, I used to hate the flat hoods, until now.  Looks super sharp.  I wish my car was looking that good.
