but that may account for it being on a regular car. would make sense that they didnt want the russians stealing any secrets so they sent a regular car for fitment . 
[/quote]Johno,
Your theory makes sense. The hood sure looks like an original and they might have installed the hinge provisions just on the prototype and then dropped them for the 21 “production”hoods. All the ‘64 A/FX cars were initially distributed with the bubble hoods, then part way through the race season the dual scoop hood was sent to the teams. My hood was built from a mold pulled from the Tom Coward car. The person who bought the T.C. ‘64 Comet from the Tom Coward dealership when the ‘65 model race car came out told me the sequence of how all this came about. Being all this happened 54 years ago the stories that people hear now a day are based on mostly hear-say, I was told what I know first hand by the person who actually owned an A/FX car back in the day.
If you ever come across the pictures of the hood again I would enjoy seeing them. (The pictures you posted are not individual so I can not save them separately.)
