Default Help with Sunoco extended cowl install.

I got the racecraft rails and Dzus fastner kit for it and it looks like a lot of ****. Does anyone have a link to instructions or a page for help. Any tips, hints, or help would be great.

I posted some info on the short sunoco I havem with the rials. that came with install sheet. 3 pages, its on there site too.

Fot the full lenght to windsheild. The mirrow ears fit like ****. Best thing is to cut them off, and make them out of alum. Robbie did this 1st, and I forgot, the proline SBC 275DR souther truck parts guy did it also and it looks mint.

also if that hood had the side lip like my stock lenght did cut that **** off, smooth like the front lip. I tried to keep it and it was just a pain in the *** like robbie told me.

Definately cut the ears off and the lip along the edge. The corners were made from aluminum and bolted to the inside edge of the fender Mine fits pretty good, some high and low spots but pretty difficult to see.

We left the edge on my hood so it wouldnt loose any strength. We just cut enough off the rails to let the hood slide between the fender and the rails. That was the only way the hood would sit low enough to look right. It turned out great.
