Default Finally...MCM Hood Installed!

After a month and a half of debating and then another 3 months of waiting for MCM to send me the hood, I finally got it painted and installed this week.

I would highly recommend Incaudo's Auto Body in Palatine. http://www.incaudos.com/home.html They did an amazing job and didn't mind me stopping by a few times to check on the progress. The paint match is absolutely perfect. John Incaudo, the owner is a fanatic and owns a beautiful '65 Vette. They do a lot of hot rods, classic restorations and bikes.

Wow, that car looks HOT. Nice job with picking out that hood, and your wheels are perfect on that car.

First dibs when you go to sell that hood! Carol's RK Sport hood never did fit perfectly and is now beginning to show a couple cracks. In another year or two we will be looking for a new Torch Red hood...
