LT-1 Hood Bulge

[Straightliner59]

As I recall, there were a few MPC kits, back in the '70s that had LT-1 hood "scoops" that were molded as separate items. Am I all wet, here? I'm asking, because I want to do one of my Vega promos as a Motion Performance-inspired car. Does anyone do a resin one? Obviously, I could cut one from one  of  Revell's Corvettes, but, I would rather not. Thanks for any help!

I remember them being in the Vega annual kits from '74 on.  Maybe see if you can scare one up in a box of leftover parts from someone who built the kit without it.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Which begs the question: What the heck did I do with the one in mine?! I'll have to dig through my parts boxes, I guess. I'm sure that's something I wouldn't have got rid of.

Are you sure it's the LT-1 and not the L-88 scooped hood???...

I believe AMT or MPC came out with a '70 and a '71 Vette with the LT-1 hood.... I'm not sure about the '72 version....

It IS the L-88. You are correct. I guess I wasn't sure! ?

In that case, the '68 Revell Vette kit and the Baldwin '69 Camaro kit have that hood.....
