Default Re: 71 Motion Camaro questions.............

Hello
That same hood is still available from Legendary Fiberglass in PA who made the original BM hoods for this car. They have been in business for 35+ years. Use to be known as 'Fastglass" and then later "Manufactures Associates" They will still sell you this hood. They are $375. The only diff between the hoods available today is back then they used a chopper gun and today it is handlaid. Larry said they are still using the same mold. Larry made most of the glass for Motion. The pics of the underhood shot on Bills car look just like the Legendary hood today and used the same rear bracing under the back section.

Do not use a Harwood, the L-88 scoop is not as tall and not as long.

I saw this car 12 years ago in PA. It had the original International MFG slots on it, which are the same as in the pics.
Rear is 15x8.5 with M/T L-60-15 tires Indy profile tires. Bill added the spinners and Motion decals to the spinners. I saw the car when it only had the International non spinner center caps, which is how it came from Motion-much cleaner look in my opinion. I have never seen an original Motion car in the mags from back then that had the Motion emblems on the center caps but I could be wrong. International is no longer in business. Ansen/US mags/International/ all look to be from the same mold.
I'm pos on the rears but fronts are either 15x7 or 14x7 but appear to be 15x7.

Dave
