One question Pete. Did you watch them do the alignment of the hood and do you have any tips to share from them on how they do it?

I saw parts of it. I rented a car, drove around San Diego, and returned.

I know the bumper was removed, the hood latching assembly was removed, and they also aligned the gills. They painted the fog lights, and washed The Ghost.

Like I wrote on post #1, I've read all threads regarding hood alignment, and obviously that is not my cup of tea. I say this is one of those like window tinting, let a pro do it.

That year you went with us was my last one. It used to be so much more fun.

I know this year they are back in Texas. Hot Rod must have some wuzzies running that event. There are millions of routes on this great country; I'd volunteer to do one for free, and I would call it the Extreme Power Tour.

hmm...that sounds like a great name for it

The paint job looks great. A job well done

I'm thinking about doing a carbon fiber hood and possibly non retracting headlights to save weight.

I e wondered about the work of aligning those parts. I too feel that you would be better with someone who does that every day

Thanks

A good number of vehicles I've owned over the years have been some shade of silver, so in my eyes that looks awesome.
