One of my sisters has a similar hood on her Camaro. Yours appreas to be older and similar to hers. I did not paint the car and can't comment about the color of the gel coat or resin, but the frame on the underside is consistant with hers. My guess would be 1970's.

Can anyone comment on when the L88 hoods lost popular appeal? It seemed for a long time, Cowl Induction was the only way to go. I'm sure looking through some old mgs will give you the clues.

It would be hard to tell if one of these hoods were made today or a few decades back if they followed the means and methods of making them as they did in the late 60's or so. I am not aware of anyone doing this, which really doesn't mean much.

There was a company called Fastglas which was local to me and they did supply parts to Joel. I beleive the hood on Eileen's Camaro is one of theirs. Their biggest volume was in the 1970's and they lost a lot of molds in a fire about 1983 IIRC.

I have seen later versions of the hoods Fastglas made and they changed the way the captured bolts for the hood hinges were installed. Maybe due to the new molds maybe for better production methods. The later ones has some sort of pop-rivet retainer for those bolts.

So this is an interesting question about this hood. Why do you ask?
