Yes, Jody's right - I trimmed the inner support. A fiberglass hood probably would fit without modification, but I chose to go with steel instead. Although it seems to locate the engine in the same place, it is an Alston front subframe so that may make some difference compared to a stock one.
I saw the Jpeg of the first ride... and you wife was clapping!!! You could give seminars on how to get the wives on your side on these "things" as my bride puts it, make millions.
