Default Some pics of my '69 Camaro....

It ran 11.0s on McCrearys (radials) on stock suspension. Then it got a 10 pt cage, ladderbars, coilovers, minitubs, etc, professionally installed, basically an 8 second capable chassis. I had a Brodix headed 406 built for it, a fresh TH350 with a 'brake, everything except time to finish it. Then, in what can only be described as a dumbass move on my part, I got bored and sold it for pennies on the dollar before it ever ran with the new setup. I regret selling this car more and more with each passing day. It was a southern car with zero rust. Sorry for the crappy pics, I scanned photos and uploaded them....

Beautifull ride. Have a soft spot for 1st/2nd gens.
I did the same thing w/a 10 sec. '70-1/2 Z28 about 20 years ago. Still not quite over it.... half tempted to dump my current junk and go back to old school-

Hey Spanky, how was the visibility with the 5" glasstek hood? I've been looking at that exact hood and was wondering. How's the fitment on the car out of the box? Also, do you have a more clear picture of the hood up close? Thanks.

No, those are the only pics I have online. The fit was good, good thing about an older car is everything (fender/hood/nose) is pretty easily adjustable. Those pics are zero adjustment, hood bolted and pinned down, as you can kinda se in the second pic down, the gap isn't abnormally large.

I never drove the car with that hood, but from sitting in it and moving it around, it is BIG. It was never a concern for me because I wasn't going to be driving the car a ton. It impedes outward vision, no doubt, but I don't remember thinking it was too bad.
