Hood scoop all wrong, needs a 65 Hemi scoop instead of that 68 scoop, Paint is major ugly, wheels are same, etc. ! A car more like Clayton Wrights 65 U/SA is way cool. Thats how it should look.

Well I didn't want to start anything about it, just looked like a cool sleeper. I would not know a 318 from a 440. But I do know a hemi head when I see one.

But at the CDRA bracket finals in Tulsa I noticed the valve covers on a 348/409 based dragster. I made sure I went over and told the guy how cool that was. You could see the smile with his helmet on. Stopped a young guy who races at our track and pointed the valve covers out to him and he did not have a clue. Had to explain it all. Young'ens

I rememer the first time I saw a 409 bare block, I was about 14 and dumbfounded by the fact a piston could be so off as to leave a ringland groove like that and not destroy the cylinder wall, then I saw the others and they were the same, then it all came together......I still laugh about that and pointed a block out to my 12 year old last year, his immediate reaction was the same.

Can't imagine ANY kind of a hood scoop, if you want to have a car that looks slow (sleeper.)

Needs steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps to really look ho-hum/authentic-sleeper, I think.
