well since no one else bothered to show ...

and since HARMS sent the only gun to the knife fight....lol

No it sounds great.  I have liked what I have seen.  Just a hair above my immediate budget, but still....I am working toward getting one.

 :clueless: I thought this string was pretty informative and something I'll take into consideration when I'm ready to go down this path.    :stirpot:

Yes, indeed.  at this point I am sold on HARM's  for the price I will now have to fork up for a heater core replacement on the crown vic, I could almost own one.

The "crimp style" is kind of rough. It's difficult to flange the entire hood without deforming it. I know of 2 that took more than 4 hours of body work to be"flat" after that mod. I havent tried Scott's stuff yet. But when the time comes, I will use his. As far as fitting various intakes..The best way is to mod the hood, install the driveline, and start modifying. I modified a few Snobar pieces. The repro parts were decent. IMO made a little too thin or from cheaper steel, but not bad. I wasnt thrilled with the quality of Ben's attempt at engineering a part via car owner's request...But I would have trouble making something with no pattern or mockup too.

hey I have the car and the hood....I am almost half way there! lol

As I am doing this for my Wife I will have to get a donation can for the good stuff...lol


no I have no interest in Crimping" the hood sheet metal.  a little stress on that could screw up a lot..
