Layne,
Make that hood exactly like it is, crease and all... if you go to widening it or changing the height, it will change the whole personality of the hood.
Make it like it is, put me on the waiting list.
Change it by making it wider, longer, taller... take me off.

Make the hood just as it is on the blue car, rib and all and I'd buy it in a second!

Honestly I dont think it looks as good without the rib. Maybe tone it down a little or like v7guy said, keep the stock crease that comes off the nose.

Yes, I think this hood should be fabricated exactely like it is on the blue 427, even keep the rib, I heard it will keep the fiberglass from sagging over time. If this is made, count me in for one.

DON'T forget the WS6. I want an aggressive hood but not as aggressive as the 4". 3 inches or maybe even 2 and a half would be perfect.

I would be very interested in a 3" cowl WS6 style hood, or maybe something like the Raptor hood, but with a 3" cowl...

The 4" is too much for me, and I want something a little different than just a reguilar WS6 hood.

That hood on the blue 427 is perfect. It just fits so nicely with our cars contours. Make it... and I'm placing my order. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
