Thanks Guys, I never did care for the vents, and now with AC I didn't think I needed them. Tomorrow I'm planning on the getting the scoop bonded on.

I made it back to the shop today and got the scoop bonded to the hood, and got the trim holes in the front edge of the hood welded up. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the filler and glazing on to flush the edges out.

Woo ho ho ho. I'm lookin' forward to seeing the hood and scoop finished and painted just like I was with the valance. Not kiising hiney here just fact. I know you'll have it smooth as a baby's Azz. In the trade we call the front end a "doghouse". You are building one heck of a doghouse Randle. This is going to be one heck of an ANTI cookie cutter. As we spoke on the phone (thanks again for your concern) I think your truck AND this 'stang ought to be in the next available show once finished. Guys. how COOL would that be if Randle won 1st AND 2nd?!?!?!

That's going to look great! I love the hood scoops on the muscle cars. That scoop belongs on that hood.

Looking good Randle.

The mod is not my flavor. It is quality work and I love to see that, even on a mod I wouldn't have done myself. I can't wait to see the scoop blended in.

I'm looking forward to getting the epoxy on. That's when you can start seeing what it is going to look like. As I told you cookie cutter and clone are two words I don't care for. As for as showing them both, I guess I'll have to get the trailer painted up so I can haul the Mustang behind the 70, now that should get a look or two. LOL

Thanks Andre, It sure changes the looks. I'm getting ready now to go to the shop, hopefully I can get it blended in today.

Sounds like I might need to build another shelf. LOL I don't know about winning that much, but I'll say I sure have a ball going to the shows and cruise ins.

I got the scoop blended in today, and started getting ready to get some epoxy on the hood and cowl.
