Boaty Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Wonder what an L88 scoop would look like reversed? Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Would tell you ifi knew what that was lol Quote Link to comment
albyneau Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Would tell you ifi knew what that was lol Originally a Vette only item, provided additional hood clearance for the famous (except in datsun circles) L-88 427, an aluminum-headed big block chevy sporting lower-than-actual numbers of 435 horsepower. It is now duplicated profusely in the aftermarket... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-475009/?rtype=10 Quote Link to comment

Javin Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Haha he would be more light weight then me! I also have a hood I was trying to get rid of... Hood races it is! I may just paint mine Pink instead. Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 There's just something that's desirable about a pink hood. -_^ Quote Link to comment

Removing the glass as well? am uncertain of how that would look since you have a full roof. Maybe a t-top conversion is in order as well? Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yeah all glass will get pulled. No t tops. If it looks like poo im only out a pair of doors Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Maybe you want to do some rat rod doors and use mine (rusty at the bottoms)? Then you can cut off the top and the bottom? leave a bar of sorts to latch and you wouldnt ruin rust free doors? Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Well I don't care if the bottoms are rusting out. These doors are pretty rust free. If u want to trade u can have em and I will take ur rusted doors. Makes no real differance to me lol. Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I already have a set of rust free doors, but I am just thinking it would be a waste to destroy some. How much of a hurry are you in to get this done? I am thinking maybe I can bring you mine when I get them swapped out (next weekend?) and maybe I can hit up the Junk yards while near Eugene Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Maybe. I don't live in eugene anymore. But I am supposed to head up this weekk on mon or wen. Then possibly again the next weeks. These are my days off and im helping jess move. So I am up there. We can meet up then. Maybe grab some beer or something Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 These doors aren't that straight iswhy im using them. The have holes from the mirrors and the side moulding. So there are a number of holes in the doors. Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 use the bullets on the hood for the shape of it Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Meh they are your doors. Holes are the easy part, rust is the pain in the ass :P I dont know when I can make it down anyway. Have fun, we just want lots of oics. Quote Link to comment
