Hood tach/fiberglass hood advice?
Hey guys,
I'm strongly considering installing a hood tach on my '68. I've read through the other threads about this and it seems that if you've got a good '68 hood you shouldn't punch a hole in it for the hood tach.
Now I get that BUT my otherwise excellent hood already has a small rust hole in it. This year's round of things I'm doing will include an attempt at repair of this hole. I was thinking I could add a hood tach while I'm taking care of the hole.
After looking at the threads saying that you should try to keep the hood as pristine as possible I also got to thinking about putting on a fiberglass hood. As I checked into this the costs started to spiral (hood hinges, hood, hood pins). Even if I could swing this are any of the fiberglass hoods worth a damn? If so, which one(s)?
Am I missing anything with regard to the stuff I'd need for the fiberglass hood? I'm trying to get to a number I can stomach with the other stuff I'm doing. Don't know if I will.
