We had a problem with the original fiberglass hood and front valance so we ordered replacements from NPD. The hood required a little work but the front valance fit great and it was a Dynacorn part.

The hood had a low spot in the back and the front corners needed a little fiberglass added to match our front fenders

Our new employee Marco is almost finished with the hood

Brian was shocked that an aftermarket part fit and doesn't need to be modified and top it off it is fiberglass!!!

Installing the suspension and brakes and will fit the sheetmetal so when the tires come in we can make sure they fit before painting.

Rusty, where did you get those shock tower panels? Or did you made them.

I have installed the same stuff to '69 fastback, exept I did long route with mini tubs. Did 3" wide but I moved rear rails complete 3" in. Add 2" strip to trunk floor both sides.

What engine are you using? We have a 5.4 SC Modular and that is tight fit. No room for headers. 1" from dse upper coil over mount.

I will start buildthread one day when customer says go. Still under radar..

Shock tower panels came with the DSE suspension. Not sure what engine will be used. Our job was the rust repair, paint, install DSE suspension and make it a roller and he will pick it up.
