Very nice! I shaved my cowl and was going to continue the hood center ridge on my last build but never got around to it

Looks great!!!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-09-2011, 08:51 PM

Most of my stuff is in the build thread and I still have not actually drove the truck so I cant say what would work and what would not?
