Jer Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 When you say "LOTS of Prep Work" What exactly do you mean? A Lot of Sanding? A Lot of Bondo Work? The edges need to be blocked flat, flashing removed, surface sanding, alignment with the fenders, grille material epoxied in, etc. Not really Bondo stuff (maybe TINY bits). This is a job for an experienced bodyshop tech with fiberglass experience. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildAzCat Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'm sorry, what's your engine configuration? Thanks! Jer I have a intake cover and Steeda strut bar. The strut bar sits about 1/4" higher then the original Shelby strut bar that came with the SGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonShelbyGT Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 my hood arrived today, but the lowering motor mounts were not in the packaging... were they shipped separate Jer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Yes. I sent you a PM with the FedEx tracking number. We don't tend to put big heavy stuff in the same box with a hood. Could be nasty consequences. Thanks! Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildAzCat Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hmmm... unique situation. I really don't know! Let me look into it for you. Jer Any update if it will clear about 1/4" over the OEM strut bar? Finger crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Any update if it will clear about 1/4" over the OEM strut bar? Finger crossed. Sorry for the wait, but I have not been able to really get an answer on this, and it will be very hard to accurately predict! Your brace is not something I've worked with, and the measurements are just too much of a guesstimate ("about 1/4") and incomplete (height comes into play, but so does shape, angle, etc... The last thing I want is for you to get a hood shipped, prepped, and fit only to find it hits the brace. Let's prioritize: If the hood didn't fit, would you be willing to give up the brace? If not, then we're going to have a hard time making a call on it with no car here to check it. Wish I had a better response, but I won't risk putting you through the trouble just to make a sale.

WildAzCat Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I'm tempted to to just pull the Steeda bar and just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonShelbyGT Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 The hood is on and the top stripes removed. I was hoping to have some painted pics for you guys friday, but I have a race this weekend and have other parts to install.Everything lines up nicely. aside from lowering the motor, we only needed to raise the rear of the hood a small amount to get everything looking right.Ill have some nice painted pics up next week after she gets out the booth, cheers!
