I'm posting this for member camaromb.

Here are pics of the original stinger hood I have. I'm interested in finding out the manufacturer and the approximate value of the hood.

It has a fiberglass underside which is '67 only. It is certainly one of the early manufacturers of the Stinger hoods. Any info from the site would be great.

the underneath cross bracing is all glass? i have never seen one like that. all the ones i have seen have the bump in front of the scoop like a 67 corvette.

The underside is all glass with details that only '67 hoods have. It is the same style hood as the early Nickey Mr. Bardahl '67 Camaro pictured at the NHRA Winternationals in January '67.
That is the only car I have seen with this style stinger hood.

Carleen, I have a Stinger hood just like yours. I can't find any kind of markings on it that might tell a manuf. name.
I've never seen one like those first three pics, but it kinda looks like the 68 yenko hoods from the top side.

This Stinger hood is definitely in good shape, perfect for an rebuild project.

Tough to see the scoop opening detail in most pics but the flat style appears to be on other early non-Yenko/Dana 427 Camaros too, like Rich Thomas' car near the beginning of this link..

Fred Gibb's &quot;Little Hoss&quot; I think had the same hood.

Thomas &amp; Gene Rains were partners. Rains car was sponsored by Harrell &amp; I think it had the same hood also.

You're exactly right w/ the Gibb/Hoss car Kim and great clarification on the Rains/Thomas connection too!.
So a good probability these flat stingers were 1'st and the 'Vette' style Camaro stinger hoods available later?.

Any ideas on value on the first hood pictured on this thread?
