wooohooo! I got posts! LOL

I decided today to add electric fans into the build. I was gonna polish the turbo today but got started on KevinM's hood instead. I made reasonable progress. I have been hampered by daily headaches over the last couple of months, and today was no exception. By late afternoon my head was throbbing and I had to spend the next hour in a dark room with a cold cloth on my head just to be able to see anything but stars.

Anyway, I gotta pay the bills to buy parts so the next few days are going to be spent on hoods.

Unrelated to my build really, but here are some progress pics on KevinM's hood. The Blue hood is Tims (speed dodici) awaiting its mod. This pic gives you kind of an idea what a 1" lift looks like. I think its just about right. I will be redoing my own hood closer to this after I finish these.

Almost ready for filler.

This gives you probably the best look at how high it is. Certainly shorter than my hood.

Just like with mine, the proof will come when its painted and on the car. Kevin said he wanted subtle. A half inch isnt worth doing and any more would be too much. I think it will look great on his car.

More stuff unrelated to my build but cool none-the-less.

This is the progress on Tim's hood. He wanted a front vent that scoops air from the radiator and vents it out over the hood. This should do the trick nicely. His cowl is also lifted 1"

Well, I have one more hood to do locally, then hopefully I can make a few to bring with to TX!

Me likey!!! I may have to pay you to do one for me, then I'll pick it up TX07 :)

I would want something similair to Tim's, but not exact...no one likes replicas :p I'll give you free reign over the idea once I come up with a basic idea :)
