How much Rice?

[KA-T_240]

Hey was saying that if it has anything less then 8 cylinders, it is a 12(in your 1-10 scale)

Needs a PT114 sticking out of the hood. Otherwise it's good to go.

Reading comprehension..... I fail.

Its the least ricey front I could find.

All depends on what's going under the hood...If it looks fast, damn thing better be fast. I have confidence that you shall represent properly, though.

[funky_monkey58]

Looks good.

Please keep in mind during your build that if you use a mandrel bender you won't need much power to go fast.

I am not a cowl guy, but if the clearance is needed then it is needed

[DelSlow]

Looks good.

10..... hope u are starting to grow a mullet to drive this. but you are buying the paint from me so ill give ya a 1

[DrifterExtreme]

Yeah this isn't a 80's iroc z. Idk if it is just me but a smoother cowl would have matched the car better. but then again i use pie cuts.....:icon_rr:

I had to have at least 3" more clearance, so a smaller scoop would not have worked. The scoop and hood are both steel and bonded with fusor. The front is fiberglass bonded and bolted to the fenders with Maxim. I will probably eventually pop a mold off and make a light weight removable front.

I say an 8 for ricey-ness. Molded bumpers never look good. I'm sure the cowl is needed though.

Dont get me started.... I moved a pile of stuff out of the garage today and started cleaning up. I pressure wash the garage so its usually just a two day project to get ready to paint. I am sure sick of blocking and dealing with all the dust though.

Buying paint? That wasnt part of the deal.

No i understand needing the room, was only mentioning the smooth/rounded edges on those cowls.

But it really looks good.

Thanks. I looked around a lot for steel cowls that I could start with and modify to fit the curves of the hood. Not much available so I went with what I could get cheap in case I trashed it cutting it apart to make it fit. Which at one point I almost did after having to pie cut it. It warped a lot when I welded the cuts back up and it took a long time with a hammer and dolly to make it usable again. The thing was a major pain in the ass, in fact all the body work on this car has been a nightmare. I am just glad its almost over.
