Re: 67 Camaro Build
that hood looks awesome! I have always loved the stinger hood and that stripe has always been the icing on the cake for it, just sets it off and adds to the mean look that it has. Does that hood just have the "scoop" area blanked out or does it also accept the Corvette insert that they had on the OEM hoods?

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Thanks, it’s just blacked out. I thought the same thing and even borrowed a used OE 67 Vette Stinger Insert from a buddy of mine. We found the scoop stamping is not an exact match for the insert, plus the inner structure creates problems. So after working with Perk’s, we decided the steel hood is not very conducive to this mod. I have seen pics of this done and it appears it’s always a fiberglass hood.
Brake line plumbing on the front of the car, so far so good. The only issue is the front of the intermediate rear brake line (2 pc line) is not cooperating. As expected, I have to bend the lines around a little as my Inline Tube conversion kit (link) is for power disc brakes. They don’t make one for a manual disc brake conversion so some adjustments were expected. https://www.inlinetube.com/products/ccb6768 Before painting the rear exhaust hanger and while I had the exhaust/tank temporarily installed. One last look at the fuel filter with the short hose installed was in order. The rear brake hose spacing to the exhaust is much better than before and I’m satisfied it will function without any heat issues. I ended up replacing one (L) and shortened (R) the other and then reshaped both rear diff brake lines.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Both the paint and brake lines look great!
I appreciate and respect your attention to detail

Most of the front clip is back home with all the badges installed. These pics don’t do justice, this stuff looks so good! I do have a slightly crooked S on the right fender. Hard to see in the pictures but the Chevrolet script on the header needs to be bent a little to follow the contour of the panel. Both will be easy fixes later, Perks Customs continues doing an excellent job.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Could you use a micro file and elongate the holes slightly to tilt the letter in the correct orientation ? I've done this with some of my "tweaks", as long as the emblem still covers the hole.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Yes exactly, you've read my mind.
The hood followed the next day. All these nice pretty panels are a huge motivation to get this car done.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
The 'icing' on the cake, ...the emblems really look good on there. You're getting close Brett
