    wow.. I called the guy I got the car from and found it while I was on the phone with him... I promise I looked everywhere... Even on the dash of the truck I towed the car home with.. The car will be in my name tomorrow..

    Well I sprayed it..I'll put it up a pic tonight when I get on h computer.. Looks good besides there's a few chunks in it, didn't filter it thought I could cut corners and it didn't work out.. So I'll block it once more tomorrow quickly and re-prime lol was only 16* out today so was a good temp for me to spray it... Loving this 2" cowl though :)

    When I got chunks after straining, the paint store counter guy, who was very knowledgeable and helpful, said it could be old activator. He said you shouldn't keep activator around for long after its opened. Just repeating what I was told. Couldn't think of any alternative explanation.

    Looks great!! I wonder how the Sprint hood decals would fit on that hood. :idea: Would be good to get some heat out from under the hood on my car.
