Thanks, it has been a good project for me. I wasn't really interested in it at first and I got frustrated and quit a couple of times but with some help I was able to finish it off. These projects are hard to do and I have advantages that most people don't have. I have time, tools, space and resources and the projects are still tough to complete.

If I build a new hood it would most likely be a cowl scoop. I might do a TA type of hood but if I needed more space than a TA hood then I would go cowl. I'm not a fan of the SS Hemi scoop that the car came with. For now I'm going to run it around town with no hood. Eventually I'll decided which way to go. I also haven't decided on finishing the paint. I think I'm going to take it small chunks. I'm going to see if I can source a replacement deck lid and get it soda blasted and painted and then maybe attack the door jambs next.
