Please post pics of your car.
Those are my favorite non-functional hoods.
I went last weekend to look at a 74 318 car, but one quarter was completely beyond repair and the other was in severe trouble. it was, however, a running driving bucket/buddy seat rallye dash a/c car for $2500 OBO.
I wish i could put one of those hoods on my Dakota. I think the lines are a good match.
I've measured, but it's too long. I'd have to build a 2/3 scale one
My Charvel is a model 2 in basic black. About 6 months after I got it, I put an R/T hat pin emblem on the neck.
It's been there ever since and looks like it's supposed to be there.
I had the idea back in the day, to do custom paint jobs on guitars with stripe packages from performance cars.
About 6 months ago, I saw a "Super Bee" paint job on a strat clone. Too far ahead of my time, I guess.
There are several musicians on this board and the A body board including AdamR, one of the mods.
Scroll over and the Charvel is in the background-

The headstock is in this one. Scroll up and Adam and I are having a discussion about instruments.

My uncle did live sound and mixing board for local acts in Ohio, and also for some Ohio native national acts when they were in town. Rick Derringer was one I remember. Most was before I was old enough to know.
He took me to my firs car show and rock concert- at the same time.
Brownsville Station at Carl Casper's. Miss ya, Buck- RIP.
It rubbed off on me a bit, and I've run the boards for a few small time acts myself, and got invited to be a replacement local crew member for Smashing Pumpkins.
I also inherited a 77ish Westbury that plays as good or better than any Les Paul I've ever played, and an "in progress" 65ish Silvertone/Danelectro, along with a hot rodded 1969 Fender Twin with JBL/Altec drivers.
Every time I talk about music gear I have to thank "Linda" at the Marshall factory for giving me incredible easy controlled feedback- smooch out to ya!
