Do you have any pics, it is hard to see in my minds eye.

I am not sure what the body piece is, that was shot from the body shop. It looks like a rear bumper.

I like the hood and paint a lot. Any pics of the back of the hood when it is open?

Is this a track hood only or do the vents funnel water away from the block? I love the hood, but my car is my daily driver which means I have drive in the rain on the rare occasion it rains in Texas.

My Cervini's KR style hood had vents that had a drip pan that funneled the water to the sides of the engine bay.

Thanks. I like the white and red.

@Darth Boss: No the vent go straight down and have no pan under. The hood is meant for the track, I believe. I believe it was developed by Tiger Racing for the 302S. I am not too worried about the water when driving, however when the car is sitting outside I will have a tarp to cover the vents. If you plan to track your car I don't think you could find a better hood. From my understanding, the hood not only allows heat out but also creates more downforce over the front tires. I do not have pictures from behind the hood, what is it you mean specifically and I can take some.

I would like to apologize now that I have installed the hood pins. I had said I would take several pictures and post a write up, unfortunately the whole process was so involved and aggravating that I did not stop to take pictures, however I did stop to curse from time to time. I will still write a step by step however for anyone who would like a written how to on installing the Aerocatch.

Posted my write up on SVTP, wasn't entirely sure where I would post it on this forum. Assuming on the exterior mods section, but I would want to take a few pics first.

Where are people buying these hoods these days? I haven't been able to locate a vendor. I would like to pick one up in CF.

Rehagen Racing is selling them now. I don't know of any other dealers since Paul Brown passed away.

Purchased mine from Kenny Brown.

Good dudes to deal with.

BTW I did get some hood pins, as I'm not taking any chances going 140+.

Make sure to heat cycle the hood without paint for a while before painting and blocking. If you don't let the hood heat cycle it will probably crack the paint after a while. Also, nice Ken Kesey reference.
