Now before you bash me for cutting a good hood up, it is a rusted out piece of crap. The only thing good on it is the center of the hood...Perfect! I saw this picture a few years ago and have had thoughts of copying it. I'm super excited to start this part of my project truck. Last edited by 77ProStreet; 04/12/15 06:19 PM.

I have a 1987 D100 and it would look better with a power bulge hood...and if it had the '70 Air Grabber mechanism it would be even cooler. The last one of those I saw was on the '70 Road Runner 440 4 speed Dana 60 car that I helped turn from a roller to a bracket car. As I recall, my boss sold the hood for more than he paid for the car, but that was in 1982...

It would have saved a lot of stitch work. Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they are not out to get you. WANT TO BUY- Looking for a CD by 'The Sub-Mersians' entitled "Raw Love Songs From my Garage To Your Bedroom". Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.
