Default Second Christmas

The MPD hood should land at my loading dock at some point in time today, I am like a ten year old on Christmas eve waiting for that big bearded bastard. In reality I should stop pacing about the parts room...

Just got to the unboxing, and wow, I am seriously impressed with the build and the quality of the hood. Blown away is more like it. Even the way it was packed and shipped expresses a care and quality not normally taken in a lot of stuff now a days.

When I get time to test fit it before starting the body work I'll give an update. Everything on this hood is really solid thus far, I really like it.

With the holidays and what not I havn't had a chance to pull it out and get it on a stand to snag pictures. Hoping to get a chance to prep it for paint this week. Doing as much of the work I can myself, short of the actual paint job. Once that's all taken care of, it's off to get striped. Don't worry, pictures when I get them Mr. Impatient.
