let's see....a month at $5/day....that's $150. But you WILL have to sign a release of liability for the dog hair and the cat scratches on the hood.

hubby has been dying for another project now that his is pretty much done. Bring yours on over and I'm sure he'll start "tinkering" on yours just like he did on his.

Yeah, I liked that tall hood as well...then Janie STOLE it from me. So I've spent the last 8 months making a custom L-88/Stinger scoop version. Now it just needs paint and stripes. Well, mabe a little more sanding!

I seem to recall that there was some mix up when the hoods were ordered back then. Looks like you are doing pretty darn good with that hood Patrick. Should breath quite nicely and it should all be cooler than just a cowl induction. Is your car going to make it to the cruise in?

SSSHHH... Don't jinx me! I want it too but life has taken over this year and I've been running from one fire to the next. It will be running but I'm not sure if the paint and body will be finished. I'll keep you posted Eddie. Man, Mike's car looks killer!
