I finished my shaker install! Not too bad at all. I used a laser level to get the center line on the hood before taping the templet on to cut. I also taped the entire hood with tape and cover the fenders. Metal shaving go everywhere (just as TacoBill said). I used an air-compressor to blow them off, instead of wiping with a rag and risking scratches. All in all, it went very well took 3-4 hrs. I really like the way it looks. I may have the hood center painted matte black (like a Mach 1 or Boss). I am still trying to decide. I have attached some pics I took during the project.

very nice!

 

you might want to try vinyl if you're unsure, that way you can take it off if you get tired of the look.

That is a good idea. I was thinking about going wider. Like a Saleen Heritagehttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/30/s...itage-edition/ . I'll have to think about it a little while. I work at a car dealership with a bodyshop so having it painted is pretty cheap and easy. I am also thinking about the 'honeycomb' for the back http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/30/s...itage-edition/.
I wanted to make the hood stripe a little wider to match my 69.

 

Pics of my 69 for reference.

Very nice hoodscoop. If I ever get the money, I would like to do a shaker hood, but I am a poor college student. The one pic almost looks like the snow plow goes on the stang.

 

Looks great, very nice job. I would love to have one of those.

 

Nice job! Very well done. Looks ready fight off GM contenders
