they are pretty much the heaviest skinny...EVER hahaha
thanks for the props - very appreciated
build update:
dzus fastner rails on, and all the holes drilled in hood. more firewall work, and then priming engine bay. lil slow lately - totally my fault.
probs with hood fitment.....after hrs of grinding the hood to get it to fit front to back and sit flush like it should, the sides of the hood have redonkulous gaps!
lost a bit of motivation after nobody offering good tech on how to properly add fiberglass to the edge of the hood and make it strong, so I'm setting it aside and going back to the metal work.
besides...I miss blowing black snot from the welding/grinding
sorry - no pics til its in primer
