Just started following this build. Beautiful work! Really appreciate those that can swap a motor, and make things look show quality too. Wish I had that talent! Keep up the awesome work and you will have another magazine cover car!
Yes Sir, I'm happy to move forward, Just as I started to pull the motor, two more people came for work. finding time is getting harder and harder to find.
Whoa! You got one of the old CFX hoods! I had those made up back in something like 2002. There are less then 20 of them BTW, super rare! Not all of the 20 or so originally sold were carbon and or scooped either. These are way lighter then the Advan hoods, but do tend to bow a little at the outer corners at high speeds. I ended up adding some Aerocatch hood pins for mine to fully solve that problem. Check out my build thread for details if you want...

You asked about what I use to hold my hood up. Its a special colour coded plastic shaft with a threaded plastic end on it that fits nicely in the latch hole, and another end that fits nicely against the latch on the bottom. Its very light so I just keep it behind the front seats at all times and it doesn't really get in the way or cause any damage.
lol Thats all true, but its actually just a cheap grocery store broom handle with the sweeper threaded off. Something like this...
I don't have anyone close that does it. I would have to go 300 hundred miles plus, but I will check again.
