Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"

I started on the SS Camaro hood modification. In keeping with the theme of what a '68 SS pickup might have looked like, I am grafting the center velocity stack "ice cube trays" from a '68 Camaro SS hood into the truck hood. It seemed best to install the whole center section including the pointed peak to give the hood a more aggressive look. Unfortunately the '67 Chevy hood I have wasn't in the best shape. It appeared that a flex fan had decided to come apart and put a whole bunch of outward dents in the hood. The good thing was this made the hood a prime candidate for modifiaction, the bad news was I could not get all those dents out without a major oil can problem, so I replaced a section out of the drivers side of the hood while I installed the center of the Camaro hood. Pics show the process, I still have quite a bit of welding to do next weekend.
