Hood looks great! Where did you get it? Was it molded in Black? I just got one from Texas ( e-bay) but it was molded in white.I just got it back from the paint shop yesterday. I wanted it in black thinking that any chips are going to stand out like a sore thumb, but I couldn't find one in black?

Looks Good Pete,  Hope to get mine that way sometime soon.  Hope to get a garage to keep it in soon and get started on it.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development
