Well I know why that hood is taking for ever, that thing dies not look easy for sure. Maybe once you se it but when your fabricating and trying to figure out the puzzle. I know I would stare it for a while 😳

Frank, it'll slope down towards the rear like the angle of the supercharger...hopefully, taking some of that "wow" out of it. Either way, we'll see, won't we?! Once, it's finished...any two ways about it, I told my builder, we're gonna paint it and roll with it.

I have, but don't know who could make one. Besides, it would cost an arm and a leg too. I mean, we know the big time/heavy weight builders can make anything. But, by the time you'd pay for the R&D, etc. the price would be astronomical.

Biggest regrets for me. Not getting Nu-relics, and not getting a cage done. Add in the supercharger for good thoughts.

New hood idea!! That other one was just way too big and wasn't gonna work. Thanks again too frankv11 for the vents. Frank also made my dash pad and gauge cluster too. Also got a bunch of other small parts powder coated too. Had Evod Industries make my headlight bezels out of billet and will match the custom billet grill too. Steering wheel and dash pad is wrapped in Relicate Leather. Car should be going to paint soon.
