[Litng1]

What kinda hood is that?

 

[Litng1]

Its from USbody 3 inch dominator or something like that hehe.

 

[NateLightning]

Hows the finish on it? Is it smooth, any pits or anything?

 

[Litng1]

Fit is real good and the finish is as good as cervinis.The only thing is the front lip and back need sanding to smooth out.But other than that its great.
The hood is light but dont know how Im going to like pulling the hood off myself still Awkward to do by self.

 

[NateLightning]

Are you gona need to do any filling and sanding befor you paint, other than the front lip and back like you said.

 

[Litng1]

Nope.

 

[MO351]

Where Y'at Marcus, How long are your arms? I seen lots of guys pick up Mustang hoods by them selves, but unless your about 7 foot tall, I think your gonna need help taking that sucker off. A good friend did a little re-enforcing of his hood to use it as a tilt hood on the hindges w/o the springs. Just sumtin to think about before painting.
If you use foam blocks under the hood make sure you got a fire extingusher on board. A fireman friend almost burnt down his Orange 69 Mustang cause those foam blocks caugth on fire & started burning the glass hood. His car is Now Officially named Burnt Orange.

LOL Im short 5.9 I can do the hood myself but its not a easy.Im not putting foam or anything like that under the hood.
Im going to get a pair of suction cups like we use at work to put the windshields in with.Maybe they will work.

that hood looks awesome. let me no when u get it painted. is it possible to go with pins up front but still use the latches in the back so u can lift the hood up instead of taking it off? let me no. nice hood:tu:

damn marcus that looks good. i got a ram air hood (black) for sale. :tu: ;t
what did you mount the clip's to the front with.

 

[Litng1]

Thanks guys.Im using the stock rear latches but I welded them up so they wouldnt move.I guess you could not weld them so the hood could go up and down but I dont no how it would do without the springs on there.

I drilled two holes in the Radiator support for the front pins.I used 4 inch pins but had to order 5 inch pins to make it work.Ive got one pin about half an inch off compared to other side but I guess Ill have to live with it hehe.
