VA72C10 · 10-20-2010, 06:34 PM

very nice!!! Are you shaving the wiper cowl also?

**superflysteiny** · 10-20-2010, 06:37 PM

Yes I am going to shave it next week.

VA72C10 · 10-20-2010, 10:32 PM

cool!

**superflysteiny** · 10-21-2010, 11:39 AM

I did not get anything done last night. I was in bed by 8. I will be in the garage tonight. I will get you guys more pictures in the am. Thanks Eric

**superflysteiny** · 10-25-2010, 07:39 PM

More pics in a few hrs, higes are mounted and the firewall and inner fenders are done. Thank god.

**67cheby** · 10-26-2010, 09:37 AM

hmm....... its been a few hours !!! wheres the pics ??

**superflysteiny** · 10-26-2010, 11:34 AM

Sorry I forgot my lab top is getting fixed so I had to wait till this morning to down load the pics at work. I got the hood started last night. Had to wait till the kids went to bed before I started. So I did not get that much done. I am hoping to have this mod done by the end of the weekend. First pic is what the fire wall used to look like which is poop.

**superflysteiny** · 10-26-2010, 11:36 AM

I plan on trimming the panel back on the front of the hood because the way it is set up right now the sheet metal will hit the top of the core support

**67cheby** · 10-26-2010, 11:37 AM

WOW ...looks killer , love the bottom of the hood

**superflysteiny** · 10-26-2010, 11:50 AM

Thanks, Like I said I need to remove some of the she metal under the hood because it will hit the core support. I am hoping to have the sides of the hood cut and on tonight but I will have to wait and see how much time I have.

VA72C10 · 10-26-2010, 11:44 AM

Looks good. Are you going to skin the rest of the underside?

Mad Rods · 10-27-2010, 11:57 AM
