Re: #65 Gibb ZL-1 Hood?
 

Here is the similar hood from a 1971 pic of the #1 ZL1.

I'm thinking I've seen this hood on one of the Motion race cars as well. I'm guessing this hood was in production for a while?

The one in the second pictire is shaped more like a Bill Jenkins style, Ive seen those called a Grump Lump. But Bill used them with an opening at the base of the windshield, not in front like that one.

That is a '71 Mopar style Prostock scoop. First seen I believe on the Motown Missile from Ted Spehar's shop in Detroit. Frank

68 Top Stocks pic has a "Grump Lump" scoop. Jenkins used it on his first prostock car. Frank

I remember a picture of Grumpy's 68 Camaro with a hand made alum sheet stock scoop pop rivited along the seems. It may have been the prototype of the glass Grump Lump as the shape and size was the same.

The scoop on top of Zl-1 #1 in 68topstocks pic was made by Anderson Industries (AI)in Maryland. They were the only ones making the grump lump scoop with the raised center hump straight down through the middle-similar to what's down the center of a stock 67-69 Camaro hood. It is barely noticable in the pic but it's there. I have seen it in other pics of the same car.
I have an old AI catalog from early '70's and they sold lots of one piece and sectional front ends, hoods and fenders for race cars. Later they got into street rod bodies.
AI still sells this grump lump scoop alone or attached to any fiberglass hood they sell. Part # TR-7 for the scoop. IMO, does not look good on a car unless the car hood has the raised hump in the middle i.e. would look out of place on a flat hood Nova. Company is now called Rod & Race fiberglass I believe.

this hood is pop rivited around the seam.

Most "add on" scoops were pop riveted to a steel hood. The scoop on your car did not see production until late'70 to early '71. I have an A&A ad that shows your scoop and it says "New For '71". Cap't Carls car you are referring to originaly had a "Grump Lump" scoop and later a snorkel scoop. The hood currently on his car was taken from another car. What Joe was refering to pop riveted is the actual construction of the scoop on Grumpys original prototype "Grump Lump" scoop. The sides and top etc were held together by pop rivets.
