I have a 1986 El Camino and was looking for a new hood. I know this will need some work, but I love the Iroc Camero daytona/turbo hood and wanted to know what I would be looking at in order to get it to fit my el camino

Well, are you asking an opinion on style, or price? For style, that hood smacks of 80's Camaro-mullet culture and it will date the car's look. If that's your thing, no offense intended. Crank up the Van Halen and have fun. As for price, I would expect around $500. Just be sure it is a quality piece as many fiberglass hoods are poor fitting. The best hoods I have seen are from Cervani, but I do not think they make what you are looking for.

You will have to buy a camaro hood like that cut out the center part and make it fit your hood.Then you gotta attach it and it won't look good for long fiberglass over metal never gets alone it will crack in the joints.But putting the center part on a fiberglass hood might work if you do it right.

That is an old Baldwin-Motion hood. I have a parts catalog ogf the MotionGlass parts. They have hoods, body kits and widebody kits for alot of cars. I know i ordered the catalog of the internet a long time ago, but i can't seem to find a site for them now.

dam man. The thing about g body El Caminos is that they only really made one type of hood and that is the crawl hood induction. Other then that there really was not anything else that was made for people who wanted a different hood that I know of.
