Yep, very hard to see the cloth texture in these pictures. Poor quality pictures and lots of primer on hood too.

Pictures of no rib porthole hood on my car #147. Sorry about the poor quality and orientation of the pictures.

It would be nice to see photos of the underside of the three different(more if there are more than 3)versions of the porthole hood.

I remember seeing some on old site. I can provide pics of the no rib version. I'll take some tomorrow and try to upload. Paul.

If original, I think it's the later version of the porthole hood.

I say so because of the rib on the underside of the hood, along the centerline, in front of the hood scoop opening. I'm no expert but I think it's presence distinguishes it from the earlier version.

I also think the repoductions of the porthole hood, which are excellent and to me indistinguishable from an original, also have that added rib.

Is that another hood against the wall by the luggage rack?

I have three, cars # SFM5S147, 441, and 541; all street cars.

Respectfully, None are for sale!

I would consider trading any two of mine into 289 street COBRA or R Model.

Interested parties who own a COBRA or R Model please contact me via email.

Thank you, Paul Marvin, paulrmarvin@icloud.com .
