Option 2!!
Thank you Tones! Appreciate your feedback brother! I'm leaning towards that option.
Ah man! I love them both. I am undecided because they will both look great

Hello Geoff! Well, you are the first to like them equally lol. Others have said I can't go wrong either way, but then did choose one of them lol.
Appreciate your feedback brother!

I agree with others…both look good, but I think option 2 with the leading edge body color looks best.
Plus, you don’t seem like the type that goes for the easiest way…

Another vote for #2, when I originally mentioned it to you 69 style is what I had in mind.
Thank you all for taking the time to provide feedback.
@ToddW702 I agree with you. The leading edge being body color seems to work a little better for me too.
@C2tuck Thank you. It's not that I choose the hard way LOL. It just happens to work that way because in order to make it the way I like it just seems to be the difficult way. Believe me, sometimes I wish I could just press the easy button LOL.
@Grabber70Mach Thank you for posting that picture with the measurements. I will probably need to modify mine, but that is a good go by.

Lol, that is true Todd. Now that I think about it I don't think there was anything easy about this build.
I guess that's why I like it so much lmao...

Sorry Bob. Don't know how this post got by me. I'm currently trying to get the hood finished up.
However, my next official task is to get the car tuned and running properly. My fabricator friend had one of his friends contact me this week. The guy used to work for MSD and knows how to tune EFI. Also, the good thing is he will come to my house with his laptop and tune it in my garage.
With the family friend I was considering using, I would have to load the car up and tow it to his shop. So, I like the idea of the tuner coming out to my house instead.
The guy has already contacted me and knows the car is covered due to me painting the hood. So, once the hood is finished I'll coordinate with him to come out and see if we can get this thing running right.
Option 2 will give you a clean transition from closed to open hood.
I like option 2. JMO of course. Just looks cleaner to me.
Wow, so you’re ready for the tuner. The project is gathering steam. And the excitement builds!
LOL, now that you said that 598 you gave me another idea. I was thinking about bringing in the hood design in to the engine compartment. However, that would mean I would need to repaint the grill and radiator covers.
Don't know if I want to go that route just yet. Maybe later when I'm looking to do another project LOL.
Yes sir. Once it is tuned and running right all that will be left to do is final assembly of the front end and ensure all my lights work and she should be ready for her maiden voyage.
Almost their Bob! I'm hoping April or May. May would be 2 years exactly LOL.
April or May would be awesome. It's been a long and winding road. But you've stayed the course!
Have you counted the hours you have in the build? My guess is your time is deeply discounted to value on this one. Of course, we all do things for free when we enjoy it vs you couldn't pay me enough to do the job if you don't enjoy the job. This one is like a marriage; it shows you really love it.
Thank you Bob! Yeah, it is going to be great going from working on the car to enjoying it and seeing all the work I put into this car and realizing the vision I had in my head came to life.
