Homemade Cowl hood for '91 Cougar pics

as most of you probably know, I like building my own hoods for my cougars instead of buying them.  It started with the Fox Cougar hoods and now I decided to try my touch on an MN12 hood.

Here as some pics of the progress so far.





This time I decided to try making it a functional scoop and just cut the hood and raised the center, instead of grafting on a whole nother chunk of sheet metal, on top of the stock hood.  This hood has also proven to be the strongest I have made so far, (no doubt due to welding the sides, rather then rivets, and fiberglass. :dunce: )  The wind knocked it over onto the cowl, on a concrete floor without any damage. :grinno:

So, opinion time.  What do you guys think?  Any other ideas?

I'd have to see how it looked painted, but looks OK so far.

Welding isn't hard, just need a welder to practice on first.  Wish I could afford one  :disappoin
