This is a good looking Hood. http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/site.htm
That first link is what I had in mind with a chromed grill. I didn't think I'd have to go that high though. Do you think he is running the original breather?

Send Pat an e mail or pm as he is on the forum. . You do not have to do it like he did. Since you are going to raise it then you can decide on how much and where you wish the hood to be higher.

I can see why you're horny to get it on the road. Doing so much work just makes it all that much more desirable to drive. You're much further ahead than me, it looks like you'll see yours for sure this summer. Are you doing the paint yourself? One question, can you ship that cherry picker to me, I'll send it right back.

The cherry picker dumped a lot of fluid on the driveway. Are you sure you want it?

I have a painter lined up to shoot the base clear on the body in his booth. He wants me to shoot the back of the doors, the door jams and the hood surround. The plan should work. I'll keep you posted.
