Thanks to Wally and Ryan (Oyishdog) for all their advice from their experience. It made my and Mac's project a lot easier.

Also to David Farmer for the hood decal.

I love it!

Did you vent the inner fenders to match the hood? Any pics?

No yet. All I have to do is drill some holes with a hole saw, but I'm waiting.

Heck, we did it in response to what you've got under the covers you haven't told us about yet.

When are you going to unveil it?

BTW, who's hood?

NVM, I found where you bought it. How much does it weigh? Same as stock? Fits nice(looks like it)?

I'm just running on a wing and a prayer this year, and the prayer is a lot bigger than the wing!

Plan to be at NASA VIR in March.

Uh Oh! I haven't heard of that one.

It crazy!

In Novemer, I was done! I wish had placed that ad we talked about. I'd be sitting here cruising a golf forum with a lot more money in my pocket!

BTW, it's a 6'wing!

I wore my Big Pine Key Motorsports shirt last week while we were in the Keys. The wife wanted to know where the facility was in Big Pine Key...I took her to the bedroom to show her...I love Big Pine Motorsports!

Yea, it fits within the lift posts.

I have to remove the wing from the uprights (8 small screws) to put it on the lift and raise it to the full height otherwise the garage door won't go down.

I don't know who made it. I bought it from a guy in South Carolina who had it on a street car. The vents weren't open, I had to use a Dremel and open them up.

It's not the best fitting hood, but we got it as close as we could. The weight isn't much different than the stock hood.
