New hood-line for the Blue Flame

[driller]

The hood on the '93 has been plagued with 'waterspots' in the paint despite being repainted a few years ago (2006). It was going to need to be repainted and I decided that being the case, we would be better off painting another hood.

I snagged a custom hood from the maker of the SWB Mark VIII. It arrived last week and we managed to install it over the weekend.

Now I just need to make an appointment with a paint/body shop to get it painted.

I need to see it with paint to give an honest opinion. I am leaning towards boxy though.

Hmmm, only 2 reasons you get a hood like that, 1 - you have a SC, 2 - your getting a SC.

Just looks boxy with no paint and being indoors. Little paint, sun light, and some custom decals for the sides of it She will look bad ass hell.

Make that 3 reasons. The stock hood needed painted again due to the waterspots and I have no faith they would not come back, so...

I hope it looks as good when painted!

Nothing on this car comes easy. When removing the stock hood, I twisted off a bolt and had to drill it out and tap it.

Then when removing the hinges from the new hood, I twisted off a bolt and had to drill it out and tap it!

I was "this close" to making it a "pin-on" hood, LOL.
