Default Suoperdave's GT500KR hood build

I have heard conflicting reports about the availability of the GT500KR hood, so I am attempting my own KR hood by modifying my fiberglass version of the GT500 hood. It will be done in fiberglass and rivited and blended into the hood when I am finished.

What you see in the pictures is the clay mock up that I will create the mold from. Don't judge it too harshly yet....I just started.

Mr Body Kit's can save you the time and effort. Scroll down to 05-07 Mustang Big Ram Hood.

Yeah that's a decent hood, but there is no opening in the front like a GT500 hood. Also, if you look on my hood or the real GT500KR hood, you can see that the arch of the pillars next to the headlights lines up with the scoop on top.

And thanks everyone for the compliments. I will work on it more this evening and have some more pics.

A little more progress. I had to take a break for a while but the clay will be done soon.
