71 Boss 351 hood treatment
« on: May 15, 2013, 12:17:56 AM »
On the hood of the Boss 351 the middle area and around the scoops is not the body color. I have seen some that were black in that area, and others that were sort of an argent color. Also, I have seen some where this area is basically a big rectangle, some with and others without pinstripe border, and others that started tapering inward in the front, following the the outer contour of the scoop indentations on the nasa hood, and squaring off in the front, kind of like an arrowhead with the tip snapped off. What would be correct for the hood of a Grabber Blue Boss 351 with the nasa hood?

All Boss 351's should have the rectangular shape to the blackout.  The treatment covers the majority of the hood and does not follow the contour of the NACA hood scoops.  Please verify further, but I beleive the Grabber Blue Boss came wiyth the argent color stripes, hood, rocker, and tail panel.
