I think im gonna go with a hood with a latch and hood pins next. The worst part of it all is gonna be getting dents on the roof fixed and getting the roof and a new hood repainted like my old one. The car isnt nowhere near showcar quality, so it may be a while before I get the paint fixed. The car is mainly to be used for strip/street use in that order, but the flames grew on me. Guess we will see which takes precedence, more performance or looks. I had new headers, blowoff valve conversion and a meqasquirt planned before this costly screw up. On a positive note, what I was working the day the mishap occurred, made a world of improvement. The car has never idled or ran better since ive had it. The hoodless test drive today proved that, but now ive found the next weak link. Around 15 lbs of boost, my clutch starts slipping when the tires finally hook. So next up is hood and a clutch. As for the Megasqirt, my MAF is dead so why spend 300 when i can spend 800 and get alot more features and tunabilty, as the ecm has just a burnt tune now.
