Thanks. The car should be out of paint soon and just a few minor things and she is finished.

Re: Suicide Hood

Love it, such a great approach! No issues with hood flexing? How you latch ?

No hood flex and it is held down by the stock hood latch and the flush mounted hood latches posted earlier in this post. The picture below shows where I mounted the flush latches.
