got the rest of the body work done on the hood, I had to build up the passenger side about 1/8 inch so it would sit flush with the cowl, and still line up with the fender. I also had to build up the accent line at the rear of the hood where it was sanded flat. ![http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/2217/1000031zy.jpg](http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/2217/1000031zy.jpg) ![http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/7641/1000030p.jpg](http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/7641/1000030p.jpg) ![http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/8149/1000032.jpg](http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/8149/1000032.jpg) ![http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/3910/1000035x.jpg](http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/3910/1000035x.jpg) I also opened up the upper scoops.after paint ill put a fine black mesh to keep debris out of there. ![http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/4572/1000034m.jpg](http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/4572/1000034m.jpg) ---
