Default Hood pics from PROJECT Juice.

Well trying to get this car to the track still making some upgrades to it. Also had a lifter problem we had to pull the head off and put new lifters on one side FML.
This is the glasstek hood we got. By the way it fit like crap and I had to recut the whole hood

Wow, the quality sucks on that hood. But I am sure you will make it fit and look good in the end.

it looks much better since you trimmed it. dont feel bad my vfn hood is 1/4" too small on both sides of the hood. they do require an awful lot of diy mods to look good. looks like ya were able to make it look alrigt

I am doing that same style hood for my T/A. Had to cut away the plastic and metal to make room for the 4 barrel throttle body. I think I am either going with a custom made hood from Roger at U.S. Exotics or a VFN. Never seen any quality come from Glasstek. You'll have to post more pictures once you have the hood completely done.

my vfn sunoco fit like a dream. I had to elongate the holes in the hood support for more adjustability bit cutting on a brand new hood seems insane to me

just sitting my VFN (sunoco extended pin on) on the car it fit great, and that was before it was even attached to anything, or any other body panel adjusting. I reccomend them.
