Yes, I will be keeping the flat hood. I like original stuff too. I'm getting ready to have the car painted. I bought all new GM NOS bright work to put back on it except the bumpers. I'm getting the originals rechromed. I have the original YH wheels and bias ply tires for the car too. I bought a set of reproduction wheels and radials tires to drive the car. It handles a little better on radials. Thanks for the warm welcome.

If it was me - I'd get a cowl hood and have it striped and painted at the same time, so if and when the mood strikes I'd always have a choice of how I wanted it to look!
I did this when I had my '68 Z and eventually I preferred the cowl look and stayed with it most of the time - but when I sold it it was a good selling point to be able to offer it with the option to have it configured whichever way the buyer wanted - with paint and stripes that obviously matched perfectly..!
