Well, you'll need a periscope to see what's by the right front.

Are you going to bond over those screws or just leave them exposed?

If you are going for the 'I just built a race car & need a hood to clear my tunnel ram' look then I would have spent more time aligning the screws.

THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK THE SCREWS ARE GONE. PUT THEM THERE TO AID IN THE SCOOP TO HOOD SURFACE BONDING TERMINATIONS. THE BONDING PRODUCT I USED ALLOWED ME 58 SECONDS TO GET THE 64 SCREWS IN

so are you going to glass or bondo over the edges where white meets gray. i like the shape and overall look of it, just needs a crap load of bondo. imo

btw spedaleden i dont think the hood is tall enough for a blower.....unless maybe its injected and a small block
