Pro Touring '69 Chevelle build thread

[Derek69SS]

Spring of 2021, I decided to finally do a project I had wanted to do for about 12 years.

I bought a fiberglass hood from Glasstek, and modified it for functional heat extractors that I moulded into the hood and tied into the shape of the SS bulges. The holes are right behind the radiator, located in a low-pressure area and will help pull high-pressure air out from under the hood, significantly reducing aero-lift at high speeds, reducing under-hood temperatures, and increasing air flow through the radiator.

The fiberglass hood also removed 40 lbs of high-centered weight off the front of the car. (Stock hood 72.3 lbs, FG 32.3 lbs)
