W-31 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Lexs scale modeling on ebay sells that exact hood!! Looking real good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks Todd I appreciate it, but the 1 on ebay looks like a regular cowl hood... plus I won't spend money if I can build it and that hood is a cross between a stock 67-69 hood and a 98-02 we ram air/war bird hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Shaved the drip rail, window trim lines, and shaved the wiper cowl.. added a piece of plastic to the wiper cowl to make it look like the scoop on the stock hood is longer.

Chris D Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hey Chris, Your really rockin on this bird. I notice in the later photos you are using the stock 400 hood, did you give up on the custom hood or are you just using the 400 hood for mock up while building? Also, could you post a photo of the detail work you did on the front cowl / windshield wiper area? You did some detail work there that I can see very clearly and I am very curious what that looks like. Thanks! Chris D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakshow12 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I think it looks meaner with a stock hood anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks Fred I appreciate it, I prefer the stock hood myself I was going to make the cowl hood so I had options, but I'm not worried about having to hoods to do the work I know that sounds lazy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I really like the way this is going. I'm all about small tire cars that don't look like they would run like crazy. Stockish body, tucked cages, you know the I look like an 11.0 car but am an 8.50 car type thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
