interesting....i'm wondering if you may want
to adjust the hood stops.....maybe an 1/8"
or so...

Yes, I did remove the hood liner. There is a small dent in the metal of the hood.

Raise your hood up some with the bumpers. I also have hood struts and mine hasn't dented. I removed my hoodliner.

Of course my hood is screwed so I looked up the cost of a new factory hood. You can get an aftermarket hood much cheaper, go figure.

Get the prothane motor mounts. Worth every penny. Easy to install.

Get your motor mounts and find a paintless dent removal guy in your area. I came out to a nice shopping cart dent in my rear quarter pannel one day. For $100 you can't tell it ever happened, and I don't have to worry about paint not matching.

The cervinis '67 hood I like alot too. The saleen hood is great but $$$$$. I also like the cervinis heat extractor if you like a toned down look.

The Saleen hood is only expensive if you dont shop in the right place! I just ordered mine for a very good price. Let me know if you are interested and I can get a price for you.
