Put your middle finger and thumb together to make a circle. That's about how big of a hole I drilled. Make sure you protect your wiring when it's in the hole cause it will rub the metal you caught and then wires will touch, ground out, and cause a mess... experienced.

I like those pics. Not really a bigger fan from one to another. All look pretty good.

That looks awesome!

Just for an idea, instead of making the whole hood "seethrough", could you eliminate all of the hood except for the SS scoop, and leave it ''seethrough". Might be cool (might also look ghey).

Another idea...do one of just the front of the car (ie. not the 3/4 view), and have all of the hood 'normal' except for the ss scoop...and do that seethrough.

i tried that but i dont know something about it i didnt like

As far as build number the pervious owner got the info for me. I believe you can do it through SLP you can get the certificate and everything with yoru build. I was also told mine was the last auto ttop off the line that year not sure in all colors or pewter was trying to find out if that was true or not, but who knows
