Any pictures of this hood installed besides the photoshop? I may end up buying this hood, I have your extended version now but I think I may run into space issues.

if I get a full hood to cover the trimmed cowl better, Im gona only use 3 side and 2 front dzues on my racecraft rails, and see how that seams. Once you drill the hood for all of them your stuck, just something I want to try next time.
I have some pics of mounting the rails in my build thread if you looking for some 95killarz

I agree, I want to try the same thing with my new hood. On my old VFN hood it was a pain undoing all of those fasteners. I'd hate to need to take the hood off fast!

sorry for the delay here's a couple pictures from my phone. The hood fits really good right out of the box and wasn't real wavy like I would have figured for such a lightweight piece. I decided to try something different and paint it like the new copo hoods

Rhodes Custom Auto just ordered me one for my car!

About 2 weeks to get here, then some time for Ron to work his magic.

Will post up some pics in this thread when it shows up.

Just got my 6 1/2 incher, its just layed down for mock up right now, and the fitment looks near perfect. Thankfully I wont have to do much trimming if any at all! Thanks for a great hood VFN!
