Still hoping for thoughts or links to discussions about fiberglass/carbon fiber hoods. I'm inclined to hold the hood with billet hinges and hood pins and eliminate the latch, partly to save more weight. The bigger reason is that my down-the-road project is to lower the radiator core and run the air intake over the radiator core as in modern Corvettes and Camaros.
I know this is an old thread but I like the modifications you made to the front bumper, do you have any more pictures? I'm thinking about doing the same thing
