69 motion hood.....
Can someone tell me who made the hood used on the 69 motion camaro, L88 hood. How do you tell from original or repop? I am going to look at one, and your help would be appreciated. Thanks,Roger

Re: 69 motion hood.....
Roger, On my '68 MOTION the underside of the hood is very rough and sloppy. I have looked at some restored Motion's and they look too nice so I think maybe they might be reproduction's. My Motion has 10,000 miles and had all the Motion parts when I bought it. Maybe Joe C. might know who made the hoods for Rosen. Mark [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: 69 motion hood.....
I think Motion owners are willing to help, but there was no real definitive "standard" one style or single manufacturer of Motion hood. I've seen 3 different kinds of Motion hoods. There was the 67 Vette stinger style hood with real rough underside like Mark describes, then another 67 Vette Stinger style hood with more refined underneath framework which is shown in Motion's 69 era Catalog. And then is the 68-69 L88 Vette style hood such as the one that is on the Green ex-Chandler Phase III Camaro.

Re: 69 motion hood.....
How was the hood attached at the hinges? Studs and nuts or bolts as a regular stock hood from factory? This hood is very rough underneath, not very appealing for show quality. Jeff, the hood is off of a car that was wrecked. This is what i was told. I am doing some investigating to see what i can find. The hood came from a car collector in the chicago area, he now lives in kentucky. He had a yenko camaro and other camaro's and sold them off to buy vettes. From what i have learned, it appears to be real. I just got it and have to look it over closer. Roger

Re: 69 motion hood.....
In the '69 Motion catalog I just sold the stinger hoods have a "refined" underneath and are made by A&A. I know many of the later hoods were made by Legendary which used to be known as "Fast Glass". Brad Fanshaws Motion Vega has a very rough underside somewhat like the back of a fiberglass tub enclosure. These hoods were made by a chopper gun. Probably close to what Mark Hassetts car is.
