    If you had yours before the Gathering then there would be three of them there.

    Mine has held up very good and has seen racing action, street driving and all weather conditions (hot,cold) Painter had very little work to get it into paintable shape

    Cool...looking forward to seeing it in person lol. Not sure what happened last time...I was supposed to get one then...but it never materialized. I really like these hoods, and am looking forward to going back to the original hood latch :) . Had a wheels up launch last year with a little too much twist and popped a dzus fastener loose...had to bail on the run or rip the hood off...not good (y)

    Shipping these hoods has to be a big thorn in Jimmy's side but he must have gotten it figured out. All I can say is the buyer will be pleased with this product.

    Maxx I know I tried to help you out last time he had the hoods, you were one of the first to show interest, and Frank
