A12 Clone - should I?

[69_A12_6BBL]

I have a car for that hood, shipping would hurt though.

Looks great now. Do you really want to deal with a lift off hood?
Seems like a royal PITA

Not once you learn the PROPER way to do it

Think I would just need hood and black wheels. Originally a 383 4 speed SB. Now has 496 stroker 6 pak. Doing a dana 60 rear, upgrading brakes from drums to power disk and installing a Borgeson ps.

That's a sharp Bee. I wouldn't change a thing.

Lift off hoods are a pain.

I'd leave it alone.
I'd rather have an honest car than a clone, and if anybody knowledgeable sees the bottom of the hood, they'll know its a clone
And bare-nekid black steel wheels are NOT ANY kind of improvement on what you have now..
