I was born in Yonkers and my business from 1979 to 1991 was in Mount Vernon.
It has changed dramatically over the years.

I had the Boar's head provision business on North Bond Street for quite a few years.From 1979-1991 with 5 trucks and 3 vans. before that i worked out of a little garage on lincoln ave across the street from Martimucci bros. Beer distributor. That garage was a real joke.

alot of those garages are jokes, unfortunately...... thats crazy man, somebody else from my neighborhood ! .... my grandfather had a nabisco route in mt. vernon/bronx ... i grew up on N.8th ave., behind columbus elementary on Gramatan ave .... man, i miss that place, but your right its not the same anymore

I'm thinkiing of dropping it down 1.5 more.
It looks like I'll have plenty of room even with the drop.
It's going to take some work but I think I might like it a little lower to the carbs.

OK, So my hood just got redone and now it's 3/4" inch taller than the stock AFX Hood scoop.It's back home and on the car.
Now it looks just like the way I want it. Its going to the body shop for refiberglassing and a new coat of TX9 PPG Paint .Base CoatClear coat.
I got 1-1/4" over the top of the carbs.
Tell me what you think?

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

I think once it's painted it's gonna have that stock appearing look to it.

Mine ended up being 5-3/4" in front.
I could cut down the retaining tubes in front another 1/16" to drop down the front a little more.

 

[65-440]

1/16" ? Dont even bother !

 

[Bbody540]

Hoods going to the body shop this week.
Getting refiberglassed, body work and new base coat/clear coat black TX9 PPG paint.

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

Hood scoop is finished with all the fiberglassing inside and out.
I picked a great time for the bodyshop to work on it.
They filled in all the extra holes in the scoop and hood already.
`Pics to follow.

Just got the Hood back all painted and refiberglassed. All I can say is WOW.
Paint is perfect. Reinforced with fiberglass and riveted into place. 15 coats of basecoat, 10 coats of clear. What do you think guys?
