Thank you all for your opinions, The car I'm looking at getting has a 1275 with 
a 5
speed waiting for the Rivergate to hold them together, so the most popular
conversion is in it's future should I get it. Thank you everyone for saving me 
the
money that I can use to buy a hood, BTW how does the hood fasten to the top of 
the
windscreen on a Frogeye? Does it have a top bow like on my 65?  Brad Fornal
