It's actually a 70 nose with a 76 hood. That hood was a one year only deal and made of steel.

cliffhanger, or should I call you Eagle-eye? I bought the spoiler about 20 years ago from one of those two page ads in an old car mag. I used to see it in the ad for years and finally decided to buy one. It is fiberglass and wraps around to the wheel well openings on each side.

Kind of completes the later Formula two tone scheme with the black on the bottom.

Default 76 hood

Phil - I'm glad to see that someone else has a 76 formula hood on there early 70's car, mine is also a 73. I did it because none of the 4 standard formula hoods I bought would fit right, they all had a slight warp in them. Arizona is great for sheet metal but, fiberglass in the Arizona sun doesnt hold up well. I also like the fact that it is an all-metal hood and you can lean on those vents at the back of the hood when waxing it without breaking them. The other thing I did to the hood was to add the 400 emblems to the side of the scoops just like the 69 Formula hoods had as, I thought it needed a little jewerly to set it of. I also have three differnt sets of scoop inserts which allows me to change them as my mood changes. One set is body color(red), one set is black and the other was going to be chromed but, pot metal needs to be done by a specialist. I found out that they actully look almost chromed after cleaning one set up and then putting it on my polishing wheel.
