whichever route we go I am going to spare no expense and take no shortcuts. That being said if it takes 6 months to do it the right way then so be it. It is always better to do it right the first time and never have to fool with it again lol.
As far as the hood clearance on the lightning 5.4, I am pretty sure I will have to cut the hood. If I do go that route and have to I will cut and fiberglass a cobra r hood onto the mounty hood. That should clear and look pretty bad ass.
If all works out right tomorrow I will be picking up a black on black on black 88 mustang hatch for a daily.
