the hood scoop will be functional when im done with it.. The hood already has the hole cut in. The pics are a little out of order but you get the idea..

Anytime you want! You just bring yourself over and we will set up the band in the garage.. I play drums mostly(about 15 years) , the wife plays piano, and Ive been playing acoustic guitar since I joined the Navy 8 years ago. Its easier to lug the guitar around on the ship than the drum set, but I usualy deploy with both..

Some more pics..

Almost done with body work,, this was taken on Saturday. It still needs a couple of coats of primer and some block work, but the guy is doing a good job! We put some spare honda dard blue paint in quarter extention to see what it looked like.. Didnt like it, so Im going with the gray still.. Its got some blue flake to it so it should look great!

dang looks nice, those lines on the hood look nice and crisp. In your other photos there was a hood on the side? Did you buy a new hood to cut the whole in so you didn't wreck the original?

You should probably have that grill taken out of the hood scoop, it's supposed to be a polished look. That is unless you want them painted.

can't wait to see it finished, the gray you're going with sounds nice. Does this guy have a spray booth? looks like he does nice work.

Thanks man, my old hood was kinked on the tip from a previous owner, but it wasnt just a kink, it was bent down about 6 inches from the tip of the hood so it had a little droop to it and I didnt want him to spend that much time trying to straighten out the hood so I got lucky and Rich from CPR Street Machines hooked me up with a guy that had a repo hood sitting in his garage that he decided not to use on a 69 Boss 302.. i got it for a great price and its pretty much new, so I bought a scoop and fitted it..
