Re: #65 Gibb ZL-1 Hood?
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.
