That is kind of what I thought but the edges seam rolled over more and the center is smooth and one height all the way across. I guess it could be a design change, I just thought this one looked better than the others I hav seen on VFN site. Thanks.

Looks like the hood by Joe Van Overbeek from Canada. I think the red car is Mike Yedgarians old race car.

It's not a WS9 Outlaw, it's a bit taller and doesn't have the heat extractors like the Outlaw hood. Pro Stock John, you know where someone could find a website or some more pics of Joe Van Overbeek's car?

Talking Joe Van Overbeek Race Cars

Here is the website, he makes the hood for sure, I talked to Chuck Samuels who used to have one:

http://www.mspmall.com/joevano/

It is not on the site, but his number is. I am having problems calling Canada on my cell though. I will have to keep trying.

It's a Joe Van O hood. We can order them through the shop. We're picking two of them up next week. The pricing is really decent for Fiberglass or Carbon. Call the shop and talk to Joe for pricing if you are interested.
