Me too. Great design.

Is that a little welded patch on the driver's side rear of the hood? What kind of damage was there?

I'm trying to imagine how a rust hole would get in that particular spot (if that's the case).

Very common with Ram air hoods because the scoops would let the water lay in the back of the hood and they are always rotted out.

Thanks for the info Don, makes sense. The guy that fixed it the first time didnt address the rust issues and it came back . If you look at the picture you can see the old rust square is laying the other side of the hood on the bench. Here is how he fixed the bottom of the fenders. Please forgive me if someone out there fixed this like this its not my intent to bash you [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Looks great to me! Love that color. I see the scoop inserts are black?
