I hope to mount it real nice to the engine, and actually make it a shaker scoop like they did w/the 2003 Heritage Trans Am. (Idea came from the LS1Tech Member Raleigh TA)

To the OP, I applaud you. I hope to have the same pics of me cutting into my hood soon to. It looks like the project is going well, and the best of luck to finishing it.

scoop $60 + shipping. fiberglass and bondo $20. sandpaper $20. not too shabby

Forgot to point this out to. Hoods are expensive, why put your stock on in the attic, and let it collect dust.

Cool Chris! I hope the see the finished product at G13 next Spring; we can park side-by-side. Maybe you can share some insights on that engine mount and finishing off the underside of the hood.

Eric, sorry for the thread hijack

Wow, nice work. Is it the camera, or is the blue on the hood faded from the rest of the car? Or is that a old hood you were using and practicing on.

I was thinking the same thing you are: it is a more uncommon scheme for NEW cars but NOT for OLD school
