Hi,
I have a 72 chevelle malibu with a flat hood. I wonder how it looks, if I paint the stripes on the hood. But I only saw pictures with stripes on cowl induction hoods! Were the stripes available on flat hoods?
I´m also looking for pictures of 70-72 velles with flat hoods and stripes.
Anyone here who has some?

Thanks anyway
Jürgen

The stripes may not look as good on the flat hood, but they are better than nothing. We painted stripes on my son's 72 Chevelle and I like them - see his website: http://www.wright.edu/~elston.5. I am not sure they were an option on flat hoods - does anyone know? Anyway, it is great to hear than a European is working on a Chevelle!

Stripes where on the SS hoods and they where domed or cowl inducted.
They didn't put them on flat hoods. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

On 71-72 Chevelles it was possible to order stripes on a non SS Chevelle, I have seen pictures of the stripes on the flat malibu hoods and it looks okay but it looks even better on a cowl hood.
