Thread: Flat colors...will they go "out of style" or are they pretty much here to stay?

Just a suggestion for you Tom. If you're going to louver the hood, have a deflector shield formed for under the hood to deflect the water that will inevitably come in. You'll especially thank me when it comes time to clean up that beautiful injection system. On an old '55 Chev I had we had one........it was basically a near full size sheet metal panel set off about two inches for airflow on the underside of the hood. It had a stiffener ridge down the center to keep it from fluttering. Worked well and helped keep the engine cleaner.

Bob,

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I will definitely pass it on to the painter.
