Next up was the hood. I had problems getting the hood open when it came back home so I knew I needed to address that before I got any further. I just couldn't get the latch to work so I ordered a new one and all is good now! I added my DSE SS hood latch kit and it's all fancy looking now.
With that done I could finalize the fit of the hood. Everything looked great except the hood to cowl panel on the driver's side. So after a lot of planning I decided to get to work on it. All good now!
