Its not welded in place yet, just clamped on. But yea the hood needs to be adjusted a little. The core support is just sitting in place at the moment. Tomarrow it will be tack welded in then I'll start on the tubs.

That new hood looks like crap, give it to me. I need it for...uh...some reason. Yeah, some reason. You should do popups or something.

Lol the new hood was on fire at one point. I have no clue but I think the shell had an electrical fire or something. Thats what all the spots of rust are from and the underside ribbing is loose from the top skin. I think Im going to get a seibon over summer and color match it to my car.

I dont know who JB is but its the same hood off of the shell I bought. It will suffice till I trade it out with something better later on.

looks like your on the right track man just watch the line on the front edge of the hood and the tip of the passenger side fender.
