Interesting hood mods. How close will the back come to the glass? (if you don't mind me asking? 8-) )..

About 2" away from the windshield, hood will be hinged in the front

I figured you'd have to hing in front there isn't much if any room to open it up from rear with scoop Looking good and different at same time.

Thanks Charlie! I'm really enjoying this build, doing my own stuff the way I want it done is a heck of a lot more fun then doing somebody else's car!!!! I wanted the back edge of the scoop fairly close to the windshield to take advantage of that low pressure air that accumulates at the base of the windshield! To get the scoop close, the hood had to be front hinged or a take off. Giving some thought to making the entire front sheet metal tilt forward, too.....Makes it so much easier to work on the car! Or would a tilt front just be another concession to old age??????

Great looking scoop, Dave!
