Ok... need some good pictures of a 1970 Super Bee "Bulge Hood"... showing the two drains that come off the rear of the hood scoop. Looking for correct color???? body color or black????

Tnx,
Brya

LOL... ok.... I know the inserts are body color.. what I'm talking about are the seldom seen and mostly missing plastic pieces at the very back that drain the water away from the breather...... the plastic it black.. the rest goes body color I believe.

Tnx....

The parts your describing are black plastic. They were on the original hood that I had. The scoop insert itself is body color. It drives me crazy when I see them blacked out.

Thanks Ed, I see so few of them! I like you hate when the inserts are painted black. I have seen two different ways to route the drains....

One is let them go straight out over each side of the engine, the other is to route them into the hood grooves itself which I think would make the hood rust from the inside out......

This Pink car shows them... about the best picture I could find.....

They are supposed to drain out over the engine, not into the hood They look correct on the pink car.

And they are riveted to the inserts.

These came off a 70 Bee parts car. If you look closely you can see the blue overspray on the drains. (not off the scoops they are pictured with) My is they were plain black plastic, with little thought given about it by Ma Mopar.

Just as the pic above shows, i've never seen any painted, just black plastic. I believe the rest of the underside as above stays the red oxide primer color. I have pics of this somewhere on a yellow survivor Bee that used to go to Carlisle, i think it was still the original owners. I'll try to find the pics..............PS i still have a spare one of these hoods if anyone's looking to buy one.

Looks like it's time to re-start the scoops painted in or out of the hood debate.

That's EXACTLY what i'm talkin about(the yellow Bee)!!!!! And i knew but didn't want to say yet, but now you see the drains, drain into the hood frame, also the block-off plates are attached by 2 screws(1 on each end) and they are BLACK..........This is my old ride>>>>>> 440-6, 4spd, 4:10 Dana, originally FK5

Here are the ones from my R/T ragtop. Since they were riveted I just masked the plastic part when I had it painted.
