Car is a 1968 Plymouth Sport Satellite, originally a 318 ci car.
Current motor is a 451 ci big block.
I really dig the hood with the engine callout inserts, so off went the stock flat hood and on went the re-pop AMD hood with original inserts off of ebay.
I also prefer the '69 hood stripes and painted my '68 with '69 stripes.
Here is a photo of my car. Currently the hood inserts are empty. I'm debating the following engine callouts for the insert screw mounted strips:
383 (readily available, a B-motor like my 451)
440 (readily available, closer in ci to my 451)
451 (will require custom manufacture - either hammer out and re-use my 383 insert strips or find somehow jig-cut new metal and apply the 451 using stickers (hokie looking) or maybe stamp the metal if I can locate the correct font?
What do you guys think?
I'm also undecided on the color combo. I am leaning towards black insert strips to match my black painted inserts and hood stripes, but with red numbers. Other options are Red with silver numbers or the standard black with silver numbers.
