Looks sweet Paul. :smash: :cheers: :smash: Glad you're happy with it. I'd like to know about the hood too. Did you have any problems fitting it and where did you get it.

Monty, Got the hood from American Sportscar. If you want I'll look up the 800# for you. A forum member turned me onto their websit. Got the hood for A couple hundred less than Eckler's and the quality is there. L8TER, Paul.
dukman: You know it!! :seeya
Vettefixer: No problems with fit . Solid and heavy hand laid glass hood with metal studded inserts for bracket bolts.I'll get info and post it . Paul.

Paul:
Looks good. Really like the hood too.
Bob:
I thought that high of body lift was only made for 4 x 4 trucks. Not sure it looks that great on your vette. Plus I would think it would really raise the center of gravity and make it tough to take corners at high speeds. :jester :jester :jester
On the serious side, it looks like you're doing a fine job with your project.

Can't find the hood on there. It states that they no longer carry them. It had a link to: http://www.vanacorvette.com/page27.htm
They do have the L-88 hood for $425.
