Looks like amazing work! And an interesting color scheme.
We managed to squeeze my twin Paxton in the stock hood but just barely, and I mean barely. Always nice to know the option is out there

How much custom work was there to making it fit? Was there a lot of difference between the KMS hood and the glass Shelby body?

Ironically enough, Bruce M, the guy who works magic with fiberglass, is mr bruce. His handy work is all over this site. Search his ID.

Interestingly, the Shelby hood was about an 1 1/2 narrower and about an inch shorter. We just made it fit--that's what we do

Hmmm, Kirkham hood on a Shelby. Does it still qualify as 'REAL'?

It's a better kept secret than Apple's iPhone 5.
I'm betting that if you open the hood, you'll see this powering that Shelby:
