New hood on Falcon, what do you think?

The only reason i haven't installed my teardrop, is that i dont know how to deal with the stock hood bubble.. you posted that you've 3M bonded the gl*** scoop the the steel hood- where did you find a steel hood without the factory bulge? or is the bulge a factory optiion?

 

I used a factory hood and worked the metal with a shrinking hammer and had to cut and weld in a few areas. If I was to do it again I would have cut out what was left of the bulge and replace it with some of the metal that I cut from putting the scoop hole in. Its not bad to do and just takes time, I am no body man by no means.

Looks GREAT !!!!!!!!!

 

Well done.
x2 on the screen. Keeps the larger chunks out.

 

Very nice !

 

Man, great addition to an already cool car! Great looking Falcon G***er....

Looks perfect....ever thought about patching the square openings under the grill? You should have someone photoshop it. $.02

 

falcons make cool drag cars. that is my favorite scoop of scoops

 

This is one of my favorite Falcon pictures, I think it would look better with the teardrop hood scoop.

I alway loved the way the "Tear Drop" looked !

Can you tell me where you got it from ?

 

Nice Car! The scoop looks perfect on it.

Like someone else posted, before I saw it I was hoping I would not see a pro stock style scoop everyone would trash.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to see more pics of your Falcon. You got the whole 60's G***er A/FX look done perfect...

 

The scoop looks PERFECT! Love it.

Since you did ask for opinions... Not crazy about the windshield banner on a period style car. Really spoils the rest of the vintage flavor to me, but LOVE the rest of the car.

NICE RIDE!

 

Thats a nice look

 

Looks real good. Thats a sharp little car.

 

Looks awsome.

 

Ya the windshield banner is out of place but that was put on the car 16 years ago when my dad and I started building & racing it and just havent brought myself to taking it off. The JB stands for Jon & Bob and my dad had coats made with the same banner on the back of them so it is going to stay for now, but I thanks you for your thoughts on the hood and car.

Love the hood. That's excellent, but WTF is happening with the grille?!!

Is that... BILLET?!!!


I need one, where'd you get that?

 

looks good

 

Nope, that is the factory 1960 grill, the 61 is different.

Hood and car look great! Nice job!
