I just punched a hole in my rust free original hood for a hood tach.

I labored over the decision, but now that the tach is in place I don't regret it for a second. IMO unless you've got a 100% matching numbers high dollar car or a survivor-type the idea of picking up a second hood just for a hood tach is kind of silly. I've never heard anyone say "Too bad that car has a hood tach."

If you are convinced you need a second hood, the metal repros are reasonably priced and apparently very good quality. You wouldn't have to deal with pins or new springs and it would require far less paint prep than a fiberglass one.

Well, that makes sense to me. My car is no longer original and never will be again (the original engine is long gone). I guess I might as well bite the bullet and take care of it. Plus it'll cost me a hell of a lot less.

I would eventually like to put a fiberglass hood on it but that will be when I can hopefully daily drive it.

Do you know if the PY hood tachs good? The Year One tach is about $80 more and I can't seem to figure out why. I always support PY whenever possible as they maintain this forum but I'd like ensure I'm getting the best for my cash.
