Could not agree more. It looks great on both, and for some reason, the L88 absolutely goes perfect with the body lines of the second gen Camaro. Should have been a factory option.

I saw one of these cars back in the 70s. Always thought it was a cool looking hood.

Period correct, I love the Dick Harrell '68 Chevelle hood

Modern, I have to toot my own horn... I made this one for my Pro Touring 69 Chevelle. It was originally inspired by the Harrell hood, but I needed to evacuate high-pressure air more than I needed to bring in more air, so the original idea to copy the Harrell hood evolved into this. Functionally, it's a very big improvement to keep the nose planted at 140+mph. Stock hood traps a LOT of high-pressure air under them, and generate a lot of aero lift.
