Where did the idea for the Design of L88 Bonnet Scoops/Bulges come from?

The L88 Chevrolet Corvette of course. 1970's circa.

...and I'm Guessing a Genuine L88 Corvette was used as the PLUG.

I was wrapped to find the following article in one of them, particularly as some of you will know I am a Collector of such Moulds and Fibreglassing is a Hobby of mine.

Street & Strip No: 9

I'm tempted to add this to Technical Info as I think its a great record of what was available and what they were worth all those years ago.

Feel Free to add any relevant Pics or Ads you've scanned. Troy has a few in his New Project Directory.

Just a bit of an update:

Rob and I recently acquired a similar Front and Guards just like these only a bit better looking. It looks like an original Recaro/Mystere Front.

One of those Rainy day Projects.

I'll upload a couple of Pics.

I love these old fronts. I passed one up at a local swap me last year. he couldn't give it away. I went back later but he'd packed up.
Oh and my father-in-law builds fiberglass off shore race boats and other bits. He is trying to retire but all the stuff is still here.

Cool!

If anyone comes across any old GMH HQ-WB Fibreglass Components please bear me in mind and get some contact details etc. and let me know.

A Good Friend of mine and I are Collectors of this gear. We'll even look at other Makes & Models.

At the very least, please take a Pic and post up.

Got me one of these too in the shed for now, originally for an escort but I removed 2inches through the middle so it fits the XW.

Just a reminder: If you come across anything of interest in your Xmas Travels, please let me know.

I loved the Commodore front when they came out, a mate bought a van that had one on because he liked it so much ( He was a Ford man) and shortly afterwords hit a tree with the van and wrote it off, god I loved that front, it had been built with SL/E wipers etc on the headlight, made my HX standard front look like Woopsie, Rusty you should start making them as well, Cheers Andrew.

**Rusty62TransAm** Sun 11 Dec 2011, 11:00 am

Ouch!!!!

Thanks for the idea Andrew. brightidea2

I'll certainly look into it, especially if there is enough interest.

Meteor Front 1st though. Sunny Wink

Rusty do you have any photo's of any show vans with this front?
I too reckon this was one of the commodore fronts that really suited H series vans.

Cheers Al. alien

Gidday Al

Nothing with this particular Front unfortunately.
