Default WS6 hood help!!!@@!!

this is a real OEM hood

i purchased a hood from a guy who had no idea what this hood was even for he had it hanging in his garage for decoration lmao =) but i was very very curious why it had a ton of signatures??

pics_










some of the names i cant read lol but ill try my best to get what i can

names:
jack mulling
richard brator
john deeg
jim mayo
rob mayo
clayton smith
leroy colemen
rob devo
john ***
john chanacay
roger rivera
marc vieed
jim lapoint
dave smith
alex sailayan #1
fred watson
steve decaire
(there is plenty more but hard to understand)

my best guess is drag racers signatures since the hood is OEM from a anniversary ws6 or pace car unsure of though

i know not many people would sign a ws6 hood in the first place because it has a high value as is.... very confused i would have to say this is rare?
"if signed names are in some type of fame"


please help if u can! thanks guys

p.s. i need hood vents if anyone has

i picked it up for a great deal i wanted it cuz i know they value at $800+ and this one is in about mint shape nothing wrong with it at all, a older guy had it in his garage hung on a wall.. he sold it to me because he knew i could use it and i was excited to stumble across it

i asked about the signatures when i purchased and he didnt know about them i dont know were he got this

but i have tried to google some of these names also there is a ton of things that come up but nothing rings a bell...

My first thought was maybe it was the workers on the line in 1999 that made the Firebirds, and that was the last 30th anniversary hood that was made. Who knows, but I don't think it would be some random people signing it.

You beat me to that hood.
He had 2 others a viper and something else they all were signed.
By the same group of people.
You got one heck of a deal on that thing.
if the sticker is right its a 99 30th anniversary hood.

i wouldnt **** with it until you know for sure.. you never know... I dont know if any of you know who Steve Kinser is but i got ahold of an old *** fender that was custom painted and hangin on a wall when i was in Indiana.. Come to find out he is a World of Outlaw champion as is most of his family and they are friends with Tony Stewart.. Now his signature isnt worth much if you search for it but i ended up selling that fender for $2100 to one of the guys at a dragstrip in Terre Haute IN...
