Todd,

I'm thinking taking a stab at making the older style Stanton hood as practice for a midget project I got going on. If I actually do it, I'll let you know.

I'm in the process of revising the Nance hoods to make them go over the sides of the frame rails. I'll post pics soon.

Back in the 70's up until the early 80 they did not run arm guards on the right side. I can recall a few stories from drivers who took rocks tho there arms man that had to hurt.
