Thanks! I'm still wondering if I could get a supercharger on myself! Some would say that's biting off more than I can chew, but I haven't ruled it out!

Looks great! Did you paint the hoodliner yourself? Airbrush? What type of paint did you use?

Yup, did it myself. Pipedreams has detailed instructions in the DIY. Used mostly model paint (Testors), but used black Krylon spray for a base coat, and Duplicolor for the reds and more base.

Check DIY for the full instructions. Takes a lot of patience, but well worth it!

I'm a little burnt out right now; can't do the whole thing over again. I'll be happy to help you out, though, if you want to tackle it. Plus, I have all the paints.....plenty left over.

Have you seen the chrome hood liner from PFYC?
