Tony ---
The hood opens way farther than it needs to -- but if you notice - he includes positive hood latches (since the hood will NOT stay up without them)... and that locks it in right at the perfect show height!
I use a fiberglass twist lock roller painters pole to jam that sucker all the way open if I'm working under there! LOL --- Have used this for years --- it's bright yellow and I keep it wedged between a couple of tool boxes for easy grab and go!
Lenie --- They are truly works of art... the machine work is perfect! And the hood raises and lowers without drama -- can't say that for the 50 year old "stockers". These are so smooth - like butter.
Rich --- These are brushed - clear anodized (whatever that is). That way they kind of match the throttle bodies. Thanks for the nice comments on the engine. It's just an old hot rod -- not a PT car by any means.... and it's really just my rolling experimental platform (as my wife calls it). I've gone through lots and lots of cars - and this is one I've had since 1999. Several motors - new chassis - different trannys - rip it apart - learn how not to do something - tear it apart - fix that and mess something else up...
