Damn shame about the gears. Do you have any pictures of the battle box installs? Id like to see some more of that set up.

You're making me not want to get that gauge cluster...
I give you props on all that hood work. I started to do some work to my hood and Im really second guessing myself. Youve got some real skill working with this stuff.
Also, for the record, a one piece front end would be totally awesome!
Now kind of related, kind of not, If the thread inserts where the hinges mount were stripped out how would you fix that? Thats the biggest reason I hate my hood.
Thanks man!
I'm doing alot of head scratching on exactly what i want this car to become. In one hand, it'd be nice to have a badass street car with ~750-1000rwhp that i could take the family out in to cruise inns and stuff. But in the other hand, theres alot of metal work to be done to fix issues i dont like. When doing all that metal work it would be pretty dang easy to just go ahead and mini-tub the rear, replace both upper and lower torque boxes with stronger drag race oriented stuff, narrow and brace the rear end, put in a cage, tubularize everything forward of the shock towers (the core support needs replaced, i'd rather do a tubular setup).
If it goes more towards race car, i have to keep it somewhat streerable so my son (5) can go for rides as he loves this thing and he has only gotten to ride in it twice.
Decisions decisions.
As far as your hood, i would try a helicoil first
if that doesnt work, i'd buy a cheap $15-20 boroscope off ebay to see exactly what the mounting plate looks like and how its installed. Then i'd come up with a plan from there.
