    You body guys are all nuts. Did a lot of the body on my car under the direction of our guys in the body shop at work. I thought my job was tough on the other side of the building. (mechanic) Hats off to the body men. Way under paid for what they do. Never realized it till I helped on my car. I am officially retired from the body business now. That was my first and last.:yup:

    That car is beautiful. Good job to you and the body man who built that hood.

    Thanks everyone. I received nothing but positive comments from everyone at the show today. I guess I'll keep it on the car for awhile. Guess I'll just have to scrap that old perfect rustfree grabber hood now. :huh:
    Thanks to Rick Book for trading it to me. :)

    Ray,

    Didn't get nearly enough time to talk to you. The car looks great.

    We are doing Saturday and Sunday next year ... missed far too much trying to squeeze it into one day.

    It really changes the look of the car.The peak in the factory hood, does alot for the front end, but with that hood it changes the entire look. Looks Awesome!!

    Ray looks awesome... Love the louvers finishes it nicely
    2 Questions
    1. Is it functional?
    2. Does it hit in the rear when you open it? (because of the rear overhang)
