The hood brackets still need to be powder coated and the base plates glassed into the hood.
The tube work has been cleaned up ad painted so it is time to start putting things together for the last time and finish off the aluminum close out panels.
I like your hood hinge setup Dave. I have been thinking about the hood hinges on the stock car. Since the pivot point is behind the light buckets, as the hood tilts up the area below the pivot moves downward. This is fine if you have the stock splitter. I wanted to hinge the hood but also run a solid floor that extends out to the splitter. I think your idea of hinging the hood at the lower edge would solve this problem. Thanks for sharing your design.
