Title: Gasser Hood Post by: samotorsport on January 21, 2020, 13:06:08 pm The logic behind the engine deck lids is pretty clear , but i always wondered what reason was behind modifying the front hood into this ?
Was there a performance , technical aspect behind ? Or was this just for the look ? (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200121/052a6baf62c5c7ac2d2af476ba59a2a2.jpg) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Title: Re: Gasser Hood Post by: Bryan67 on January 21, 2020, 17:46:45 pm Looks

I always thought that , but Richie has a wafer thin version of one of my glass bonnets , and that has survived 170 odd mph Title: Re: Gasser Hood Post by: Garrick Clark on January 26, 2020, 10:45:38 am .
