Your link is void.
Best try uploading your picture here:

http://www.photobucket.com

Then right click the image, and when using Internet Explorer select "properties", then select the URL and copy it in between your image code.

Alternatively, use the paperclip like symbol in the reply field when enterng your reply.
It allows you to upload an attachment directly from your computer.

Re: Poll..Which hood would you like to see made?

I noticed on the poll you had a Sunoco Hood with blisters or louvers, I have been working on that for the last few months and it's coming out great for my replica I'm building, the Sunoco hood was the closest I could get that looks like the IROC race car hood with opened louvers... My hood louvers are being machined(water jetted) in aluminum to look kinda like the IROC race car style. I'm making a mold of this hood just in case this ever gets damaged, I'll have extras... When I get the aluminum louvers back I will post a pic, here's the hood....
I started with this....

Re: Poll..Which hood would you like to see made?

Thanks!!......This hood has been a pain in the *** but the end results are worth it..I'm a painter & bodyman so I'm doing this all myself on my free time.. It will be a few months before all the fab work is done, still working on the chassis & cage stuff.

Very impressive, have you thrown any colour on yet mate?
Or maybe a shot dummy fitted on the body?

Nuff said....sickest most original hood ever for a third gen. Third gen owners seem to be blessed with a lack for taste, so to know this option exists is almost like seeing a unicorn.
