Hot Rods With a Hood or without?

Just been playing around with one here. Do I need one or no?

 

Thanks......was a 3 year father/son build in the early 90s. We took it a few times to the Ty-Rods Reunion in Mass.......450 miles each way. It is very docile around town......very easy to drive........Trans America Series (off road) SBC 302 (not a standard Z-28), M21, 3.50 gears. Hilborn is all mechanical, with lots of design mods to make it work on the street......has instantaneous throttle response. Cold start is simple.....by-pass electric fuel pump to prime it......fires up immediately. On-board wide band exhaust gas analyzer with a Dial-A-Jet and curves for temp, barometric pressure and humidity to make adjustments on the fly.

 

No hood, maybe a hood top some day.

Nice pair!
