I am getting a little POed at the moment, stopped by weds night and it is looking great..the middle peak looks so much better.
the painter is doing my hood in between jobs, and wants to do a great job, so I am just going with the flow for now, he told me he is hoping for friday, well today is friday and I have not heard a thing!
I am hoping for the middle of next week.
Maybe I will call Scott tonight!

Ouch! Stop that!!
Sorry guys, I've been busier than a one legged man in an **** kicking contest lately. I literally just got home about 15 minutes ago from taking the car to the body shop and putting on the hood. It just ran outside and took a couple of crappy pictures. Let me upload them and I'll post `em up. You all have been hanging on long enough!!! Give me a little bit.

Thanks!! Yeah, I didn't have the lower grille in there when I took these pics. I had just gotten home and grabbed my camera. I did get it in there tonight, and it looks bad ***! I looked around Ed's place for that ****ed thing for 2 hours, and so did a couple of his guys. They had moved it when they took the compressor out of that rear building and nobody knew where it was put. We finally found it sitting on top of a quad outside, in plain view!! It'll be on there tomorrow when the car is on display in the Hardcore Mustangs/TruFiber booth at Fun Ford Weekend in Fontana, CA. You going Richard?

You're right Yao. I don't see any reason to have them other than cosmetically. It would look good with a set of original twist locks, though!

Hey guys, for those of you who have purchased the hood and had it painted, what are your paint and body guy's thoughts on the hood???????
My paint and body guy is great, but I can tell he doesn't like fiberglass hoods. He said he has never seen what he calls a "good" fiberglass hood. He says no matter how expensive or how good they advertise to be, all of them have their issues. He says they never fit right. He goes on to say that they all require many, many man hours to make them right. I'm anxiously awaiting my Trufiber hood (venom hood) that will fit the GT500 front fascia. I know it won't be here til December or maybe even after the first of the year (more time to save for paint), but I was just wanting to hear some feedback from your paint/body guys. Here's hoping Trufiber will prove my paint and body guy wrong!!!!!

With an attitude like that, I think I would be looking for a new painter while waiting on the hood. If he doesn't like fiberglass hoods, he most likely will not do his best work. JMO

Hey Scott,
Looks great!!!
Are those painted stripes or vinyl!
Hopefully i will have pics and a g#d d#mn F#**#*G car by end of next week...then you guys can see one with the center bead removed and a small (stock like) peak installed.
Jonco...I think I am going to fabricate some deflecting trays out of stainless and leave the louvers open, I have some real good ideas on this , I am going to use the underside of the strut brace as a mounting point, they will also hide my NASTY looking valve covers...lol
I cant do anything until I get the car back, I am thinking the trays that come with the hood are useless the way they are at the moment!
I have also a few ideas for them, but again, I need the car back first!

the hood I have coming out very soon doesnt have that center bead as well as a couple other subtle differences, unfortunately despite all my efforts I wasnt able to get it done in time for SEMA but it shouldnt be much behind that now

hi OKLACOP,
i find that VERY strange. my bodyshop dude i would not even say he calls himself super master painter...but he had NO COMPLAINTS and did the job and made the hood hit dead on. He did paint the 2 times because the first time it didnt come out right and he wanted to do a great job. he gave me no push back and was happy to work on it.
honestly bro, im a little skeptical of your painter/body guy now. i know many dudes who do not like to do the work or second guessed how much time they need to spend will start to bad mouth things.
just a hunch..
good luck
