ccobra70 10 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 hey guys thanks for the encouragement I kind of hit a snag with the hood I used a aftermarket one and did the body work to it and had it flawless painted the underside cut our the wiring holes for the scoop and then shut it and nothing but waves in the top, so we tried another aftermarket hood from a different company and got it straight as an arrow then pulled it out in the sun from being cold and it warped, so 3rd hood is a ford tooling hood that is on the car now with body work being done and the cut out for scoop ,,, so it got behind sched. and dont ever use a aftermarket hood for your car. I hope to have it done realisticly by next year hopefully next summer, depends on cash man this is an expensive hobby, but worth doing. ill keep the pics coming as I get more thanks guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
