Hood Suggestion...

Hey, I wasn't sure if this would go under "Body" or "Appearance" so.. whatever.

Anyway, I was thinking, this would be a pretty cool hood design for a 3rdgen Firebird or a Camaro. Its alot like the 'big block' style hood that was copied from the '67 Corvette, but I think this one looks powerful, but smooth too. BTW, this is from a '66 Corvette with the big block.

What do you guys think?

Don't get me wrong, I'd take that Vette in a heartbeat, too. I just wouldn't like that hood on a thirdgen.

I dunno... I like it. IMO, it kinda looks like the Firebird's "power bulge" hood, only its got a symetrical/mirrored other half.

I think it looks better than the '67-style hood though.

that hood almost makes the front of that vette look a bit ducklike, not my cup of tea really..
