Dana hood question
 

We're all the 68 camaro dana hood pins close to hood scoops or did some have the pins closer to the outside of the hood?

Re: Dana hood question
 

Here's a Dana 427 without the special hood and the pins were closer to the outside front corners. Could be that it depended on the guy doing the installation.

The orange '68 Dana car had no hood pins.

One of the best Camaros of its type that we have ever had the privilege to restore. The condition, and the amount of original parts reused on the car was remarkable. Not to mention the vast amount of paperwork with the car, and its pristine history...BKH

Frank Arones paint and body work is absolutely amazing. He is talented to say the least. I guess years of practice has perfected his skills. I bet he has painted more Super Cars than anyone. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Re: Dana hood question
 

Absolutely agree!! That car looks amazing.

Re: Dana hood question
 

Body and paint are 90% of a great restoration and Frank Arone nailed it on that 68 DANA Camaro. But that didn't come over night, that took years of hard work, dedication and sacrifice to the business. The &quot;MOF&quot;

I have no idea who painted it but Joe and Brian restored it and I'm guessing they chose who to let shoot the paint.

Re: Dana hood question
 

my favorite 68 dana car....great job by brian and the team.

does tony lucas still own this car?

Re: Dana hood question
 

Yes. That's the car I saw at Franks paint and body Nice car guys [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Dana hood question
 

What's the big mystery... Arone Autobody always did the sheet metal and paint on all Supercar workshop cars.

Re: Dana hood question
 

That car has it all! One of the best threads on the site.. IMO

Only thing missing is its spot in my garage.. lol..

Re: Dana hood question
 

I always liked the placement of the hood pins like the 68 Dana car. And the radiator support is drilled for it. Doing it this way allows you to still use the outbd. bumper stops for adjustment and a better overall fit. JMO.

That hood prop looks like it's working hard!

Re: Dana hood question
 

Hmmmm, the pics above , Charley's garage ?
Would it be possible to be filled in of what's pictured ?
I can make a few out,,,, my curiosity is being teased.

Re: Dana hood question
 

That is a old pic, not my garage.

Re: Dana hood question
 

Charley has birds flying around in his garage.

Re: Dana hood question
 

Is that why he doesn't show us his cars here,,,,they've all been &quot;bird blessed&quot; ?

I'm farely new to the site, a member here for a few years and more recently active with some of the forums I'm familiar with.
It would be nice to see some of these Super Cars on a more regular basis.

Are there areas here I havent found yet to see features on them instead of
my Hemmings Muscle Cars or MuscleCar Review ?
Thanks

Re: Dana hood question
 

If you are willing to wait until spring....some of us take our super cars to the dragstrip and pound on them. You are always welcome to come out and watch the gears come alive !! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Dana hood question
 

Doug,
I hope to be out there too , in the spring, laying down rubber for the first
time in 27 years with this car, god willing.
I appreciate the invite and yeah,,,, that's the best &quot;feature&quot; I can hope for.
