Funny your should ask. Due to getting some heat in the shop the hood has taken a back seat until today. I layed down some prelimnary firberglass coats and layed the hood back on to go for the final phase(s). I think you will be amazed, most people wont even know it has been "built" up. In fact I was able to narrow it 3/4 of an inch at the top, the back is almost exactly where it was. The sides are remaining amazingly close to the original contours the front is of course raised up but just enough to allow engine movement, and then tapers back to the "almost" original shape. I'm actually building it around you air cleaner to keep it as low and "in profile" as possible. Tomorrow will tell once I built the final "mold" and fiberglass the hood totally back together. Pretty amazing with a high rise intake! Pictures will follow.

I hope one of your buddies doesn't start sanding on it going all the way down to the inner structure like Huckelberry's budddy did just to see how I did it! Tell them to call me, I'll tell them!

PS- Your 4-point should be done by 7:30 tomorrow night! And I may have figured out a way to beat FR at their own game and still put the two remorte starter boxes in the back???
