I am glad that I am not the only one who thinks the hood is cool. I know it doesn't fit with the rendering, but if you really built the car to be aggressive with a street fighter look, you definitely could keep it. The other recommendation would be to consider sending the hood to pain along with the hood that you are going to run. Use the scooped hood for track days.

Too many years ago to remember how many now ---- my brother in law (best friends then - until I married his little sister) had a pink and white International Harvester (like a version of a full size blazer) and it had a transplanted Oldsmobile with tri power... the throttle pedal was hooked to the center 2 bbl -- and a piece of ROMEX (house wire) was hooked to the other two --- it came in thru the firewall and under the dash and made a loop back to the dash and was tired off to some switch that didn't pull out --- if he wanted to cut in the extra deuces -- he'd mash the pedal to the floor and reach over and pull on this "wire"....

Too dang funny! We just didn't know how - or didn't care - to figure out how to make some "real" linkage.
