RE: I did it !!

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Congrats. I'm looking for a spare hood myself so I can butcher up a 
scoop on it. I'll use it for racing and put the stock one back on for 
normal driving and cruise nights. I'll probably rattle can it flat 
black. They aren't hard to change at all as long as you have somebody to 
help. Heck I could probably make a lifting fixture to use with the 
engine hoist if neccessary.
