This is why you always make sure your hood is latched.

Default This is why you always make sure your hood is latched.

If you have custom paint you will end up like this.
sanding it all off

But I'm in the process of getting it fixed.
primmered

and base coat white

Flames get laid later today just stalling right now it still makes me sick to look at it.

That sucks!

Even if it is latched down, you could end up like my buddies Lightning, who had his latch screws come completely out of his hood on the way to get his new engine put in!

But Im sure she'll look brand new here shortly. Good luck w/ it.

I didn't have it fully latched and when it lifted it broke through the safety and smacked the glass.
Here is the out lines

and the flames



Now all that is needed it to clean up any over spray and roll it into the paint booth for clear.
Still sucks.

Thnaks for the compliments.
When I get it buffed out and cleaned up, I'll get some outside pics that show the Burple edges better.
