A couple of Mopar "legality" questions...??

Tom Turner · 07-27-2009, 10:45 PM

The way I understand this rule after a long conversation with Bruce Bachelder is that if the hood in question was available from the factory in the year claimed and is "as per OEM" in construction; it's legal. Bruce gave me the impression that he didn't really like this ruling but it came from above. This was almost two years ago but the proliferation in "not really correct" hoods has been obvious since then and I haven't heard of any disqualifications. Remember; the year has to correct. I'd have an L-88 hood on Fred in about ten minutes if that weren't so. TT

Tom,
Are you saying I can run a L-88 hood on my 68 or 69 Vette?
