    thanks alot.

    that is exactly the look I was going for :) they were basically just looking for something "rough" or under construction, not necessarly a true rat rod obviously but i think i definatly fit the bill more then the rest of the crowd. i didnt even realize they had that trophy untill they called my name. after they named off the 25 peoples choice cars i knew there was no chance of 1st 2nd or 3rd place, but damn was i suprised!

    i could tell my friend was a little jelous walking out of there empty handed in his fully restored '63 sedan deville ;)

    the hood is a stock steel hood but the scoop is a bolt on fiberglass piece with a 13'' hole for a v8 air cleaner underneath. its simular to the GT scoop but not an exact match.

    you wouldnt believe how many people are willing to get a nice coat of paint over some 1/2 @$$ed bondo job now a days. mine will probably see the spray booth some day not too far off but it wont be under those conditions
