"Stinger Hood" Revell `67 Camaro_Search

[69NovaYenko]

Is anyone doing a "stinger" hood for the newly tooled Special Edition `67 Camaro SS Revell kit.  I`m planning on building this Nickey Camaro.

This is the only one I know of so far. I think they do an RS grille as well.

Took a look--not impressed. It looks too tall, and it's flat across the top, which is not accurately shaped.

You might have to use a Corvette hood from another model and graft it into the Camaro hood. I just did a Nova "Camaro style" hood graft into a '66 Impala hood. Not as hard as I thought.

Thanks for the lead.

I once worked with a guy who bought an original '67 Nickey Camaro back in 1981 and it had a black cowl induction hood on it and was pretty sure it was a replacement, although was never able to determine what hood came on it from the dealer.

[Snake45]

The cowl induction hood didn't appear till '69--maybe even midyear '69--so it wouldn't have come on an original Nickey '67.

I've seen '67 and '68 Nickeys and Danas with both Stinger hoods and one with, IIRC, two scoops pretty far forward. And maybe even some other variations. Remember, these were basically custom cars (as were the Baldwin-Motions), unlike, say the '69 Yenkos or ZL-1s.

The 1/25 Revell '67 427 Vette kit has the "Stinger" hood and it's usually a $10-$12 kit on eBay, plus you get the BBC to boot.

Ordered the Lexs Scale Modeling resin stinger hood for the Revell `67 Camaro. It arrived recently and not only does if fit well it looks good. Thanks for the lead.
