Default Got the sunoco hood on finally. pics
hood off


hood on








Could use a little more adjusting to get it perfectly lined up but its good for now.
Now just have to find a place to get it painted. I really like how the cowl part looks from the inside.
When I get some more $ I want to put a mechanical nitrous pressure gauge (w/ iluminated face) in the vent so it would be visible from inside. I think it would look pretty nice and I could use that gauge.

Any recomendations for Austin body shops?

Yeah I almost went with the pin on because its cheaper and lighter, but decided I would hate the pins, I love the clean look.

Looks badass! My friend has one on his pewter car with a black stripe down the side, looks badass too. Now for some new headlights! Looks like you have the same problem I used to.

Call Northwest body and frame off 183. They've done several paint jobs for me and everything has always come out awesome.
