would this hood work??? for a 320?

[burrito213]

i was recently offered a 1966 roadster hood for the datto 320.... i was wondering if it would sorta match up... any guesses?

 

this is what i would like to do to the 320

 

 

this is the pics of the roadsters and 320... i have not seen the hood yet but the guy said it has a little surface rust

 

 

 

 

it looks like it may work.

 

here is my rig

 

and ultimatly, this is what i want it to look like.....................lol

It's not bolt on, but can be made to work. As seen in the pic of the red primer truck. i don't know the details, mklotz does. Also-you must have a roadster engine to use it. :)

A lil cutting and welding and anything will work lol, that scoop would look good though

[burrito213]

okay, so to clarify...

 

 

-i am going to have to chop a existing 320 hood

 

-i am going to have to chop a roadster hood

 

- i am going to somehow put the two together

 

-i am going to somehow make it work ?

 

all jokes aside.. this is what i would have to do... if someone has done this or knows someone who has done this plz let me know.

I do believe the roadster scoop is longer than the 320 hood but can be easily cut to fit the length right. I'm going to our shop tomorrow and could get pics of a 320 hood next to a roadster hood if you would like that.

if you can do that it would be great....

 

i am looking at a 1966 being offered.. but i would also need a 320 to chop up too...it think AZ hitman has one.

 

going to collect the parts then do it.

i also heard two things:

 

cut both and fit -or- cut the roadster hood, weld to the 320 hood, and then cut the inards out of the 320...

 

i have welded and fabricated before but this will be a first since high school

 

 

i'm prior military but we only played with a plasma cutter then.

I'd cut the scoop out and make it fit the stock 320 Hood, be careful cutting it out and welding it, to much heat will warp it really bad, those hoods are thin

Here are a few pics I took. I didn't want to deal with digging out the other hoods so it was kind of awkward taking pics with it on the car. I didn't have anything to write with so I took some pics with a tape measure across the hoods. The measurements lengthwise start at the top leading edges of the hoods. Hope that helped some.

wow...the roadster hood looks huge in comparison.... But it also looks like the hood cout be cut to fit in the back but I can't tell till I put both together myself.

 

thanx for posting the pics LAYEDOUT.... I really need to jump on this and see if it'll work.

 

I'll probably pick up the roadster hood this weekend
