Sort of a Mach 1 hood, but it curves a heck of a lot because of the bulge in the hood. Anyone know of an aftermarket hood, regardless of what car it fits, that looks like this?
I may have to form it with putty... :uhoh:

Nah, see, they're sort of the right shape, but too flat...
It's basically a '71 Mach 1 hood, and psf makes a resin one for the NEXT generation Mustang:

Worst case I'll order this, it's just gonna be a bit of a bitch to cut out properly and splice it in with the older hood...

John, those would be easy to make with some sheet plastic. I doubt any putty would even be needed to finish them off.

No...but the scoops look like the bottom side scoops from a Miura kit. They are molded separately, maybe someone can cast some up.

Hmm... I have a feeling I'd have better luck with some minor reshaping of the resin hood... thanks for the ideas tho.
