You could always do the 70 Mach stripe with the engine size embedded in the outside lair.
That would look hot.
Like the red/pinkish one on the picture...

I like that, but without the engine size. Those mach's only had the hood stripe right? It didn't carry over to the trunk at all? I toyed with the idea of a full mach strip up the front bumper and down the back.

I think the stripe on the red car would look best with the shaker system, the other stripe could definitely work on your car.

I agree, the shaker helps a lot but back in those days, if you didn't have a shaker, you had a fake scoop. And that looked fine as well.

I did that scheme on an 05 with the Roush scoop and it turned out nice.
I lost those pix in my old computer when it crashed, so don't ask for them.

And Shane, that 70 stripe didn't carry to the trunk.

But I think degeze is right, scratch the idea if you're gonna keep the hood bare...

Yeah I am planning a supercharger after I finish the outside of the car so no shaker. I didn't think a normal scoop would look good on that hood, maybe i am wrong. I need to find some pics. If I am doing the Xenon body kit, maybe the xenon scoup. IDK, I like the hood as it is.

Don't rush the idea on scoops etc...
Because once you drill holes, you're stuck with that deal.

Just get used to your hood the way it is and then if you're bored with it, start thinking on a solution.

Well I restored these 2 Mach ones so there! More involved than the striping...
And you'll need a bigger couch to hide from me buddy.
