Do you have to have correct hood

It goes way deeper than this. I'm building a 3rd generation Camaro for stock and I have found that NHRA allows engine/transmission combinations that never existed in the showroom. To give you and example they allow automatics in the IROC Z's that were only available in a manual five speed. They allow cars that are carburetor that only came fuel injected from the factory. You can use any body flaring that you want or none at all it seems not to mention any hood. So, you could have a base Camaro a Berlinetta a Z-28 or an IROC Z and all are acceptable. NHRA has lost control of this and if we as racers really care about our sport, like golfers need to police ourselves. Sorry, my intent was not to hi-jack this post but, I think it goes along with it somewhere.
