Hood Warning Ive had alot of people ask about the hood. It came from usbody.com, yes it looks very nice but my dad has at least 200 hrs into making this hood fit proparly. The fiberglass hood was warped and we had to cut several peices from the bottom to get it to fit proparly, and build up the ward side with fiberglass. Also in order to fit the hood molding fiberglass tabs were added. The bottom is smooth but with most of the hrs sanding and adding bondo. I have pictures of how crappy the hood was before it was finished. I even email the company to show them and they blew me off. They have poor molds and offer poor customer service.
6/7/07 Went to track for first time with new motor and transmission and ran 13.8 at 101.8 with stock 8.25 rear. Next project is reverse manual shift transmission valve body and 9.75 strange rear with mopar super stock springs.

This car is 100% all original even down to the original tires with some minor performance upgrades. No body work has been done no rust everything is perfect and i still have all the origanal parts like the lean burn and thermal crap carb.
