vintagedragfan Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 Brandon, don't let this discourage you, I was the same way only a year and a half ago!! seriously! then I decided it was time to try it myself. thank you very much Mr. Laski, means alot! Alyn you are waaaaaaay too kind my friend!!!
vintagedragfan Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) I decided to go ahead and try it and see how it would turn out, I made the hood out of aluminum, I think it is going to be usable, still need to add the webbing on the underside and try and cut the scoops out, wish me luck on that! lol Edited October 4, 2012 by vintagedragfan
vintagedragfan Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 I decided that I would use the kits 4 speed, it is a nice accurate piece, and I'm sure I could not make one that looks that good, so I went with it, just added the hurst shifter and linkage
vintagedragfan Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 and of coarse it had to have a factory pistol grip with real wood grips!

Del Austin Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Everything looks incredible. Is that embossing foil used on the hood? I have done that on a few old ford models to have the louvers visible in the inside of the hood.
