Can't believe the guy said that. I know some guys wouldn't want that hood because they want to retain the stock look of their car. On the other hand many others like myself want to change the look of their car and thats why the aftermarket is so big. To bad that guy was short sighted and missed the opportunity to grow his business.
I tried and would consider having them made.
My problem is having time to do it. My job takes up most of my time, which I wouldn't change for anything other than to work on my cars.

Once again my project has to wait. I'm helping a friend down in the C1/2 forum. Doing a thread on his chassis build. If you want to follow along on a somewhat daily basis of what I do, look for a C6 chassis build in the C1/2 forum

After this frame is built and a complete chassis ....everything after 5pm goes toward finishing my car. In less than 2 months, it will be a year since I have drove it

I understand, its been two months since I've been able to wrench on my car due to work considerations. I just replaced my wifes DD but the next pile of money I save up is getting me a second fun car while I work on the 'vette.

K member is painted.
Cut off some more of the front bumper, when I get the filler pieces made I can paint the engine compartment and start installing parts.

COPO, I think we would get along. This is a pic of the hood of my Factory Five Roadster
http://s818.beta.photobucket.com/use...tml?sort=3&o=3
Sounds like we have a lot in common. I have been in racing for about 10 years and decided to get out this year since my daughter was born. Even spent most of it as a front tire changer. What teams did you work with? I'm thinking REALLY hard about selling the Cobra and getting into a C4. I'm totally copying that hood when I do. I love the SS hood. Look forward to seeing your progress since I probably won't be able to leave well enough alone and will want to do this eventually. Here is one more shot, just cause....

I worked for anybody and everybody to try and get ahead, it's a cut throat world there. I'd keep the cobra and get a c4!!!
Thought I would do one test fit before I did any painting and cleaning on the firewall and such. I think it's going to fit
all that work on the pipes and other parts just sorta disappear when dropped in there. One thing I do like is its easy to change plugs.

I can barely get to plug #6 and #8 is definitely easier from underneath. The others are cake.
Good progress...
