PS - Love that 1974 GTV. Gorgeous car

Someone chiming in to say it doesn't matter.

I ran my Civic with no hood for the first 2 months that I had it. My Escort "went faster" with no hood on it. (Actually, the hood blew up and smashed the windshield, I replaced the windshield, and never put a new hood on... I told people it made the car faster to see how many people would actually believe it.)

This includes driving on rainy days, letting them sit in the rain, etc. No problems that I can remember. I also pressure wash under the hood without fussing too much about where the water goes.
