I decided that the way the hood was looking, it was bent enough that I wasn't sure how to get the lines to look right. Between the lines being parrellel with the floor and the side panels pushed back, so I decided the thing to do would be to go with an unbent hood. We decided to totally change the mounting system on the front of the hood to allow it to tilt easier. We also decided against the 2 wire start button. We're getting a 3 possition key switch and I am going to wire the original 1 wire start button to the negative side of the original terminal on the key switch, which beings as how it is now a negative wired system, makes it a dumby that looks like its not. Pic is of new hood mounted

I'm hoping to get that little extra burst of power from the reduced drag of the crome.

That is coming along real nice...I'm getting excited to see the final result....I'd be interested to know what class they put you in for a tractor pull.
