    I have been asked by Drag city casting to master a 64 Ford Thunderbolt hood with the cloverleaf hood scoop. Its for the Revell 64 Ford thunderbolt,..but neither him or I are having any luck finding pics for reference. Thought I would jump on here and test my luck.
    Below is the only picture that is clear I was able to find online. 5PerformanceAssociatesLesRicheyT-Bo.jpg

    "This photo, a scan from Race Car Art, is the number 6 car of Gas Ronda. Notice the original cloverleaf hood, which was never used during famous competition. I know of none of these hoods today. (Dennis Kolodziej believes that only one was known to be around after the teardrops came out. The hood on the "HULLABALOO" car was a cloverleaf cut out for a scoop on top.) They were probably all folded neatly into eight or ten squares to fit in the trash bucket when the teams saw the new teardrop hood, a beautiful addition to the little Fairlane. This car was later painted orange, and lettered with "Russ Davis Ford" on the side."




    (Yes, I noted the original post recently bumped was from 2019)

    I agree. Ford got it right the second time around.
