Here is a So-Cal car flamed by Dennis. It's Larry Corn's deuce. Flamed right over the louvers. Dennis doesn't want the louvers to dictate the design. On the smooth hood- believe me, I thought about it & was planning on a new 3 pc w/ Limefire headers but the pennies keep adding up the longer it sits in the shop & I keep coming up w/ideas. So the smooth hood was nixed.
