Picked her up yesterday from the body guy. Awesome job. Kaenen "Shelby-inspired" hood (non-functional) and SSE ducktail. The stripes are layed to the EXACT 1965-1966 Shelby dimensions. They taper along the length of the car, from a minimum of 9.25" and maximum of 10.5" or 10.625" (don't have the dimensions handy right now). I am extremely impressed.

BTW, Lebanon Valley Dragway tomorrow for the first ETs. Will post when I get back.

Take a look:

 

looks good!

 

Looks fantastic!

 

Very nice!

 

Awsome!Who makes the hood?Have a link?

 

The hood is made by Kaenen, out of Florida. Their website does not work. I believe Blow By Racing sells this hood as the BBR-500. I got mine directly from Kaenen, which was a bit of a pain. As a manufacturer, and not a retailer, there response time is iffy. The quality of the hood, however, is unmatched. The body guy said it was the best aftermarket hood he has ever seen.

Here is the link to BBR:

If anyone has the BBR hood, check and see if "KAENEN" is molded into the underside of the hood, front driver's side.

Champion Fiberglass Products makes a similar hood, but I have heard the quality isn't as good. I would recommend getting in touch with Kaenen or BBR. The Kaenen number is listed on their website (www.Kaenen.com)

 

That is beautiful - the same look I am going for...

 

looks good

 

Can't beat the white on blue. Nice look, stands out without looking gaudy.
Enjoy!

 

IF I wasn't such a freak for Black, Vist BLue with white stripes would definitely be my second choice. Very nice work.

 

Coool. That looks great!!

 

LOL Agreed! That looks wonderful. Does the SSE Ducktail cover up the holes from the factory wing? Or did you get a spoiler delete when you bought the car?

 

Unfortunately, NO and NO. The SSE mounts to the back of the decklid and quarterpanels (3M tape only for me - no screws). It barely comes over the top at all. I had the body guy weld up the holes in the trunk. If you go this route, get a good body guy as the metal is pretty thin. It came out great, but he had to repaint the whole decklid. He also had to paint/blend in the quarters. Everything came out great. Here are some larger pics:

 

And one of the back:

 

 

Is the SSE available without the opening for the third brake light?

 

Looks good! I really like the hood. What's next, rims/tires, tint?

 

No. But the CDC is similarly shaped and does not have a cutout for the third brakelight.

Thanks. I am not a big fan of tint, and I prefer the stock rims to tell you the truth. I am probably going to lower the car next (Steeda Ultralights?). No definite plans, yet.

 

Hey 06, from one Vista Blue with White Stripes owner to another, your car looks incredible . Except for your hood, we basically have twins (Check out my pics below) Doesn't the white just really set the blue off so well? And I just love my SSE spoiler, and have gotten so many compliments on it, as many wished Ford had this type of spoiler as a factory option. BTW, your hood is the 1st that I have seen that I really like. I like that the scopps are really low profile, and look really retro.Too bad I already had my stripes painted and such. Maybe in a year or so, I can get a new hood. Congrats on your car. Hope your enjoying it.
