Are those your new widened wheels on there?

 

No, not yet. Tires got to wait while I finish some other projects like this hood.

 

You and your projects...wish I had the dough for some projects like yours.

 

It was nice and sunny today; 87 degrees. I went and had the stripes put on. Here they are...

 

nice

 

That looks great BTW, are the Ford Racing emblems under the hood painted or vinyl?? thanks.

 

They are 3-M decals got them from bobwhitedecals.com

 

Thanks

 

Sorry,i forgot the part# 05FRF,they come in several colors.

 

.....................just kidding (kind of) Anyone have any updates or pics of their progress on their Venom hoods. I'm back to square one waiting on a replacement hood from Phil.

 

Anybody??????????????????????????????????????????

 

Can't afford to take it to paint yet! Got a bunch of other new parts too so it will cost me like a grand.

 

Well i already posted mine.
but the hood is back at the bodyshop to fix some imperfections that showed up a couple weeks after i got it painted (bubbles, dents, etc)

 

Well mine is having some minor glass repairs done (pic's soon Rob)then it will be primed in flat black and I'll wait until late spring or early summer to paint it so any imperfections should be easily seen by then.

The quality of the glass work is good but it will require several coats of high build primer and block sanding to get that perfect hood finish due to the waves in the glass work which is typical for any fiber glass hood. We figured about 12 hours of prep time (priming and block sanding) to get it perfect and ready for paint.

Truefiber has a great quality product and no one should fear the work involved in getting a perfect finish on their hood this is just typical for any FRP hood unless its Carbon Fiber.

 

I can't wait to get the replacement. I'm going to go ahead and mount it and get it in the sun and drive around with it on before prep and paint so it can get "broken in" so to speak.

 

tThat hood is sweet... I might need to upgrade.

 

my body guys are still working on mine as well.... as soon as it's finished up, I'll post!

 

Same here. No news since the photos I posted last week. Headed to Kuwait tomorrow for a week so will not have any updates for a while.

 

Swing by Dubai on your way back

 

Almost did that. My travel agent had me flying through Dubai but EA sold out of business class so they moved me to United/KLM via europe. I'll wave as we fly by!
