    Welcome aboard muise101...not too far from me down here. I actually work in Pascagoula. I haven't seen that c/f hood in person yet but I've heard nothing but good things about it. I feel sure if you get it, you'll be VERY pleased! Post some pics of your car!

    Here is one from the beginning of this thread.
    There are several pics on page 1.
    Btw: The hood in these pics, is the hood sent to Mike.

    I have a question. If I have a Comet & I want to put a Maverick hood on it, do I need to get a Maverick latch. It looks like the Comet hood sticks out a little more than a Maverick in the middle.

    I would think you just need a Maverick grille and maybe grille support.
    The 77s used the same bumpers.
    The latch on the hood should unbolt and fit on a Maverick hood... :huh:

    The latch is still different. It will bolt on, of course, but the "handle" that releases it is made for the longer Comet nose. You'll need the Maverick latch.

    I had a grill made. I guess I will have to get a Maverick grill support just to see whats different & get a new grill made. Maybe pay more attention to the entire setup & take pic to compare. Thanks again

    Awesome!:dance:

    Got my hood today!
    Super fast shipping and packaged stout! :thumbs2:

    My wife asked if I liked it, I said "Honey, I need a better car that doesn't ugly up my hood!" :yup:

    All the elements of a Spabber are in place now...
    I just need to get the body/paint work done.

    Thanks Derrick!
    Great work!:thumbs2:
