Hood or no hood?

I was thinking of building a hood for my project. SOOOO, what do you guys think? Also, I bought an old Armechi motorcycle gas tank that will be my air cleaner. It will be mounted on the carb with a hole for it in the hood.

I don't know about the hood....looks good either way to me. As obviously talented as you are, I'm sure you'll make the right choice. Bill.

Hey Blacksheep. Just found your thread this morning, and have been going through it all through the day today. I must confess here that I am not a fan of T Buckets, nor of RPU's, HOWEVER, I'm in love with this one! You've done one heck of a job with this build. And for a novice especially! Your imagination and ingenuity are outta site. Great work and great car. perley

 

[chuckles]

Come a long way !! Looks good !!!

Sweet. I like the scallops/flames and the gas tank turned air cleaner. What are you doing for a filter? I`m kind of partial to the hood, but it makes it look even longer. Might change the look a little if you had the winshield/paint/air cleaner on in the pic with the hood.

 

[Jimmy Wallbanger]

in the hood yo?

at first I thought "thatlly look like crap" when you just set the tank up there. but painted and mounted its awesome and I apollogize for saling you short. gotta admit the no hood look is nice but I vote for the hood either two thumbs up sir![cl

 

[blacksheep]

Believe it or not , that is a 53 Chevy truck bed, and I used the rear fenders from the bed to make perfect replacement pieces for the rear of the bucket. I should have photos way back in the build. Thanks for sll the compliments.

So what did you decide on the hood? After seeing a better picture with the air cleaner, I think I like it with the hood...or maybe not...I guess you could do it either way depending on how you felt that particular day. Sure looking good either way!
