I have seen pics of this done and it appears it’s always a fiberglass hood.

thanks for the indo. Thats good to know, Ive always wondered that about the insert, but never have had a Camaro with a stinger hood but its been in the back of my head if I ever go another 67 to stick one on it over the SS hood or a Cowl.

Glad you brought it up, I think that’s a cool mod for this style of hood.



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.

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.

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.

The 'icing' on the cake, ...the emblems really look good on there. You're getting close Brett

Thanks Kevin, I do like how this hood has turned out (with the Baldwin Motion look).



The front brake calipers are installed, I'm not a big fan of the spliced rubber lines (H672), but it is what it is. Also, more fuel line routing while the exhaust was still mocked up. Placed blue tape with dots where I want to drill for the fuel line saddle clamps. I'll drop the exhaust out of the way to continue the installation.

Brett,
I hear ya' on the caliper lines. The conversion kits are '69 style calipers/hoses, and when putting them on '67/'68 they don't exactly route the best. I'm still surprised nobody came out with a set of hoses to work better on 67/68...
