How big of a shot is a .060 n2o jet? Seems fairly tough when thinking about the limits of the class. No progressive hits and only one stage as well as limited to a 306cc runner. Have at it though I know there are a few BBC's running around here.

the hood is an extended hood that goes right up to the windshield, so no plastics... not sure what your asking about with "around the edges"

I was specifically referring to around by the fender edge. Like up by the mirrors.

oh, the hood i orderd is cut off around that area (its very narrow and would break off easily if it was part of the hood) so i made some plates that zues on and off to fill that gap, they stay on the car at all times and also have a bracket off them to support the hood also acting as a mount.
