Looking good Mike!
What are you thinking for paint? I could see a two tone black and red looking good on that hood. Red hood, red scoop but that other edge in black, if that makes sense. It will be cool to see it completed.

Thanks, It gets alot of looks. Mine is done pretty much the same way yours is done. There is about 4 inches left on the hood by the cowl area for support. We basiclly cut the hole on the inside edge of the bracing.

For paint im going to go with a Baldwin Motion theme, only instead of it being a straight line down in the back its going to follow the V shape of the bumper (if that makes sense). The car is going to be black with gold coming out of the cowl. The part that wraps around the front, and then the outline of the stripe will be black but with gold metalflake in the clear to give it a ghost effect. Its hard to explain, but I can try and photoshop it ib the next day or so.
