observation.....no provisions for the hood hinge to bolt to nor a latch (guess that is where the hood pins come in)

Baldwin Motion hood? I have a hood that was supposedly a hood that came off a Baldwin Motion car. It was later used as the mold for a run of repo BM hoods. I will try and get some pics of if this week, it's at another shop. It had provisions for hood hinges so it may not be the same.

THANKS DAVE , that would be great.
Ive had some help and info and they had a few photos of a owner of a 67 Yenko and he says it is VERY Similar but with the hoods being made by different companies its hard to tell. I have looked in many of my old CAMARO enthusiast books from Years ago and i looked in My Book about YENKO history but no clear shots. this hood has the raised humps where the hinge bolts would be but no holes. Its well made , Heavy , is a 2 piece style hand laid underside ...just not like any i have looked at yet.. AS FAR AS FIT ..ITS PRETTY DECENT ...i have 4 camaros here , 3 69s and a L-30 67 Convert custom. ive set it on 2 of the cars. |

The backstory on this hood is that it was off a real BM Camaro. One of the outfits, used it for a mold to make and sell repo stinger / BM hoods. The owner of this hood was given a repo hood for letting them use the hood. The repo hood he had was much rougher on the underside than this hood. Obviously they broke the hell out of the area where the hood hinges are. I bought it planning on just hanging it on a shop wall as garage art. I may have the underside repaired since I have a friend that is really talented with fiberglass and he would do it fairly cheap. I may also repair where they added the hood pins, fix the one corner and have it repainted. Not sure how far I will go on it at this point, just thought it was an interesting piece.

THATS A COOL PIECE , i like the old paint work on the Scoop too.
lot of differences for sure , even where the scoop is at the front . thats the first one ive seen thats old and has the molded bottom , but its hard to tell from all the different pictures ive seen because they dont show much of the underside of the hood , only a bit here n there when there is a engine shot. i have seen some that have the rougher underside though .. VERY COOL DAVE < THANKS ...thats a killer wall hanger ! |
