I'm failing to understand why the hood has to be redone.
Reworking your reworks doesn't sound like any fun. At least you've done it before and have a better idea of what you want to do this time around. :)
The scooped hood has a roll left to right and front to rear, I havent taken a serious look at the new hood to see if it would work without "massaging" it. I bought the scooped hood with the raised portion of the 73' in mind not a flat 70'-72'.
Total time so far changing out the tail panels is about 2 1/2 hrs so far probally another 2-3 hrs to go ...the problem was I ground all my spot welds flush unlike the factory ones the first time and had a heck of a time finding them again.
