Observe my fresno thread.

Ok well I talked to VFN today and the wife approved it so I will be ordering tomorow. They also recomended hood pins for anything above 130mph so I guess I will probably end up with a set. Goodby factory latch!
Well got to go pick up my cearing orders, time to start outprocessing!

Just don't do fake ones and don't do cheap ones. You want ones with a quality striker plate, rubber washers, nice pins (I like the solid dowels with the rings) and I recommend a nice set of cables (metal but with clear protective plastic on them) everything in stainless... to do it right.
Sounds expensive but only $20-$50 for everything I am talking about... Similar to what you see on a lot of 1970ish Chevelles...

Ya definetly. Ill probably put it on myself and then have a body shop allign and fit it. ill get it painted later down the road.
Honestly i kinda like the way a white car looks with an unpainted hood, ya weird I know, but it aint going to bother me to drive around for a while without paint.

While I am having fun spending your money... You going to stay with the SS spoiler or go for a bigger 3 piece to compliment the bigger hood:
Not the best spoiler pics but it is the same spoiler as the Dick Harrell cars...
Go here and look at pic 5 for a white one:

/\thats the ASCD hood isnt it?
Damn it looks good-oh well!
No I plan on sticking with the SS Spoiler, dont care for the three inch.
You are kinda geting to mod a car that you didnt even buy!

Well its done. For better or worse its done I just got off the phone with VFN and ordered the 4 inch cowl. Should be at my home in ~4 weeks.
Man I hope this looks good! Anyone ever have buyers remorse or just get nervous after buying a part?

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I still say the VFN looks better than the ASCD...
Not to mention price and quality of VFN is great...

Now I get to look forward to stripping my current stripes off when it gets here...
I still want to figure out a stripe pattern for the new hood, maybe just a single stripe that spans the width of the cowl but dosent drop down to the sides. Something along those lines. What can I say I like stripes!
