Not even sure if this is the right place to post this. I think a Super Beetle has the shortest hood but I'm just checking. Looking to build a street rail similar to the pic below and need a shorty. Thanks in advance.

Fairly certain the 73-79 Super Beetle hood is the shortest due to the round windshield.

Thanks guys!!! I didn't think that was a super hood he was using but it's what I'll be using for my application. Back to my parts search.
