Re: Daytona Hood installed...

that's cool. Man I bet the view looking out past the hood from the drivers seat is sweet. You going to paint good white or leave black?

I love the 82-84 hoods. I plasti-dipped mine, maybe you want to try that on your new one? It's still black but it looks much more uniform than spray paint and you can take it off when you need to.

Look into it. dipyourcar.com has kits and videos. They wash the cars they dip with a pressure washer and they use it on exhaust tips. For jsut a hood hitting up the local hardware store and getting a few cans is usually good enough. The thicker it is the easier it will be to take off later.

I've got several... the cowl hood is long gone, though, if thats the one you're thinkinga bout.
