The picture is not very good, but the hood really sets the car off - painted the louvers silver.

Did you get that from Saleen, or is someone else selling them?

I bought the hood directly from Saleen - took a while to get here.

I also took 1968 mustang side emblems and chopped off the "fingers" and put them in the aftermarket side scoops

I think they really work. What do you think?

The ZOSO where the emblem was is a nice personalized touch too. (Zep ROCKS :headbang: )

That's not from a '68.

This is a '68:

I stand corrected - it was from a 66 I think.

The hood fits great - no problems.

The only part I am still looking for is a Wiper Cowl that fits.

Thanks for the comments!

Lookin' good, John!

I doubt you could do more to make your car hotter. You must turn a lot of heads in Lancaster!

The hood looks very nice! I'd like to see a couple more pics if you can.
Are the louvers removable (bolted to the hood)? Are they metal or plastic?

Thanks,

Paul

The louvers are removeable - but they are plastic.

My brother has a much better camera - I will post more picks next week when he stops up.
