Hi All,
The idiot original builder cut this one way down and added about ten inches in length. Will require major reconstruction to make it work. If anyone out there has an orphan hood around, please let me know. I'm on a time as well as money budget with this build so ordering new from the manx store is not a favorable option. If anyone can help, that would be awesome. I'm in Peoria AZ.
Thanks! |

BL3Manx, thanks for the heads up. I called on the ad and he has a hood that looks like it will fit. Price is right and though it's a loooong drive, I would have about that much time in my current hood and it wouldn't look as good. |

Well, 12 hours start to finish, easy drive across the 8 though. Straight shot, no traffic. The red hood was gone, a guy beat me to it, but the was a third that was on a body still (the body was busted in half on the drivers side) Decent hood, a few cracks but manageable even with my limited glass skills. Got home and test fit, fits right in. With a little massaging it will be as good as this thing is ever likely to look.
Thanks again for the heads up. |
