Yes, the back half was from my old 76 as is the hood. She suffered a "trauma" many years ago and I rebuilt her with much help from a 70 & 72. I always liked the look of the 76 hood as it had nice proportions to the car.

I agree with torqjunki's comment about the 70-75 F/G hood at certain angles. I like it from the front but not the side. From the side, the scoops look way too far forward and out of proportion with the 2nd gens sleek lines.

BTW, the repro 70-75 fiberglass Formula hood weighs only @ 17 lbs. I wish they made one for the 76 but there just isn't the market.
