    I like your car better without, Gotgas. It's so clean and uncluttered. Too many horizontal lines starting to stack up on the front, imo.

    That's fine. We all like them a little different. If it makes you feel better, I have two other stock hoods. ;)

    Seen this done on a shoebox. Very interesting. In my opinion it messes with the lines of the flow

    I totally missed that scoop on the rear quarter. Thanks for pointing that out 'Mo.
    Were those there when it was a solid green or added with the paint change?
    I used to have a poster of that car in my garage when it was solid green (1 color), at least I'm pretty sure it's the same car.

    Found a shot of the poster online. The rear quarter scoops were added later....

    I don't have close-ups to show, but the scoops on this wild three-door Merc (fenders and hood) have teeth borrowed from table forks.
