Round 2
Cut up a perfectly good L-88 hood because I'm stubborn like that. My intent was to make it a shaker style hood (RIP Bandit) but the engine placement and spacing of the scoop didn't want to cooperate. The shaker insert is a plug for a Carbon Fiber piece that I will show later. This is my favorite part of the car and looks fantastic while driving. Cut my teeth on using an English wheel that I purchased just for this purpose. Amazing the number of subtle curves and bends necessary to make these custom pieces look right on these old designs.
Ironically very few people notice this modification. I guess this is a compliment.
Also found a photo of the diffuser ready for paint.
