Hood scoop on 96 mark viii

[keVIIIn]

Nice! I like the LSC badge on the front bumper..never thought of doing that. But is this the same car as your Sig pic? In the Sig it looks like its tinted all around with the partial windshield even tinted, but not so in the other pic you just posted..I wasn't around when you wrecked the car so not sure if I'm missing something.

Now I want one just for looks. All I have is a ole putter engine under my hood. Don't it feel nice to have a one of a kind hood? Might be some close but not exact.

The car in my sig pic is identical to mine ..but was a better pic than I had at the time. Once I get the paint wetsanded out and cleared it'll get changed

I found the LSC badge on a Mark 7.
I've got pieces of several Mark series making 1 car and a large splash of Cobra

DAMN YOU... YOU DIRTY BOY!!! You guys make it so damn difficult for me! If it wasn't for the crap I have to go through to make the swap on my black '97 I'd definitely do it! It looks sick man. CONGRATS on the nose swap! It's taken you a it to finish but well worth the sacrifice!

what happens when you get water all over the engine?

 

[Sapperfire]

The nostrils are tunneled to the top side of the Marks origal rear brace, any air thru them will blow over the windshield

 

[Don Pfau]

I like it. Looking forward to a finished outside in good light picture.

 

[97MarkJA]

Has not been wet sanded yet nor clear ..but here it is

I like it Sapp.

sap what are you using for paint?

if you need some paint in your color code let me know, i work at a auto body shop and we have all the color codes for Mark Viii's i can mix up how ever much paint you need and send it to you.

 

[Sapperfire]

High gloss duplicolor.
I don't have anything out here that'll suffice as a paint Booth, and the entire body needs work. Thanks for the offer tho man

 

[Lownslowlsc]

I can dig it, good job.

2x4's and plastic. best paint booth ever hahaha

 

[Sapperfire]

There's other issues involved. It'll get a good paint job when I can afford to have someone else do it in a more controlled environment

 

[Stangman]

I dig it Jeremy! Looks great! I just sold a '98 Cobra hood recently.... and I still have a spare Mark hood..... I shoulda did this!

 

[Sapperfire]

After all the hours into that hood, I'm glad it looks decent on the car, and more important-its functional

 

[97MarkJA]

A little progress.

That is sweet Sapp.
Love the early block LSC letters, awesome.
Great idea for a cool hood.

Jason, looks like it buffed out good.
Great paint, that hood is evil looking.

That's town property isn't it? They are around here. Gotta pay for them if they get damaged.
Oh, and those are both killer hoods.

Lol.. those would be brushed stainless screws. I might leave them like that.
Trash cans kept the compound and polish from spraying into the yard as I was buffing.
It will wash off.

 

[98lincmk7lsc]

It will wash off.

Into the yard?.... :shifty:

Wet Sanded till my arms were jelly

Looks good Sapp, that's the way I felt after wet sanding my car several times over.
