What is this Hood

[whitetop]

How can you tell the early vs later style hoods?
Usually the outside is the same. Underneath the hood is where you can tell the difference between early & late styles. Much of the early fiberglass pieces from the '60'/70's was done by a "chopper gun" hence a very rough underneath surface etc. Today fiberglass pieces are of much better quality & fit. They are hand laid and in may cases use a smooth panel underneath which is bonded to the outer layer. The '71 Motion Super Vega that was featured on this site several years ago has the original hood and it is very rough underneath because it was made via chopper gun. The chopper gun literally sparayed on the resin/fiberglass so you can imagine the fiberglass did not lay down that well.
