Hi Paul,
I figured that too. The holes where the carbs belong just looked really
weird. Usually a hood like that would house a V6 or more likely V8. Carbs
wouldn't be there then. Hmmmmm. Someone on this list bought the eBay
roadster with the (Ford V8?) swap that had a double scoop. I'm sorry I don't
remember who off the top of my head.
On this one, I think I'd have rounded the "hump" more. It would look more
natural and then put the opening a little farther forward. Not that I would
want to copy one, but a little more like the 280Z or Z61 Aston Martin DB4/GT
Zagato, only exaggerated (with a Roadster scoop on top).
There I go dreamin' again.
Have a GREAT weekend!
Matt!

Saw a hood like this before. My guess is the car had a motor swap in it's
history.
