QUOTE(brant @ Nov 26 2024, 05:53 AM)  Prior to using a glass hood I built this for weight I was going to do this, I collected your pics from a build thread but having the tub bare I accidently found out that the backend of my car is heavier than the front. Then add an engine, trans and suspension and I changed my mind on lightening anything up front. I'm still doing the through the hood oil cooler exhaust like your street car but it will be build with my steel hood. I do not have all the goodies up front like others do. |
