L88 hoods are bad ass. I have been waiting to see a Pro Touring car with one on it.

looks like your on the right track to a cool ride and welcome to the site. I have restored several of these myself and if you are looking for parts let me know. I have a lot of stuff new and old

Cool !
Sounds more like you are going for the Baldwin Motion look than RS.
We had an L88 hood on a 73 Baldwin Motion Clone back 15 years ago.... I love that look !
