Holley body panels

https://www.holley.com/products/rest...nd_components/

When did Holley start selling body panels? And who actually stamps them?

Re: Holley body panels

These look nice. They don't have the 79+ lip on the front it looks like.

I never knew they made those. Good to have another source.

Re: Holley body panels

I highly doubt they make them. It's more probable they're just another distribution source for the aftermarket parts already out there.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Holley body panels

I got the hood in, it’s nice and heavy too. I’d say it’s true when they advertised it to be OEM thickness, I can’t speak for fitment yet tho.

I had a square body in the mid 90s the aftermarket body panels them were total junk

Can you confirm it is 73-78 without the front lip? The 79-80 hood had a lip. The 81+ hood is an entirely different design.

I thought I'd add that AMD makes a 73-78 style hood. https://www.autometaldirect.com/amd-...n-p-23664.html

I wasn't aware that some one was producing them, last I new it was only the 79-80 style.
