Actually. If I get this one done the way I want it and actually like it alot when its all said and done I might end up making a couple more. all depending. the coolest part about this is it will be fully functional ram air. Im thinking of ways to build a aircleaner pan that, with the use of some cushion, will seal up to the underside of the hood. Kind of like the old 440-6packs I love that styling. looks clean and functional.

I do have another TC hood and another stock flat one... It may be a possibility.

I use spray filler for stuff like that.... and leveling.. would save you a ton of work in the long run

something like slicksand or the likes. pre form it with bondo (and rough shape it), and layer the spray polyester where you need it.. I used an entire gallon on my car to flatten everything... probably sanded 2/3 of it off by the time I was done. but boy is it nice

I used a home depot gun with a 1.7 tip for it.... if you don't clean the gun thoroughly though, it will never cone off after it cures.

Got the TC coils in, didnt notice much of a difference in height. these CHE adjustable  arms are for the birds.

Maybe the non adjustable arms would work better with the TC coils? Perhaps since you already have the adjustable arms you could run some SN-95 rear springs?

Maybe. but I have to remember that there is NO weight in this car. no interior nothing in the trunk. So maybe when it gets more things thrown at it it might sink the tail down a bit.

It looks a lot better now that it has settled for a few days
