    Hello all. After 2 months of working on this hood it's finally done.

    Functional Lumina z34 louvers cut into and then molded in.

    Love the way it came out, all that hardwork really paid off man, and i'm still really liking those mustang wheels painted like that

    I don't think it flows with the car at all, but if you like it that is all that matters.

    I know it's not for everybody, but I didn't want to do a special edition like a lot of people do. Here are a few more angles.








    This hood will never see winter. This hood will be stored and the stock hood will be installed.

    Nice...been wanting to do mines for the last 4yrs but cant find no shop that will do it. its a nice style not to loud but yet still allows plenty of air in there to help keep the engine bay at ambient temp and overall cooler
    Not your average grocery getter, but theres always at least two things on the list.... 10w-30 Castrol Titanium and Shell 91 premium mixed with a lil 100 octane racing gas......

    Nicely done!!! Now you just need to so some work to the underside so it looks professional when you raise the hood. All that work and it looks like a hack job underneath (no offense)

    Looks nice, but have a question. What happens to the water (rain) that will be coming in on top of that fuse box?

    No problem there i have already survived 3 or 4 rain storms. Although overnight I do cover the filter just in case.

    Oh thanks I cut it myself. I'm not sure what I'm going to do there, but the hood structure was not effected.

    You don't think it's an issue having rain come in on your air filter and your coil packs?? It does look sweet from the outside though!
