Couple updated photos from my recent trip to Miami. Ran into some issues with driving the car down South that I will address in later post. for now here some photos of the painted Spoon Hood finally. Hoping to get all the bugs fixed and my Ohlin DFVs and a temp gauge soon.

Looks like the hood is going to fly up with the gap at the front - is everything authentic?

Entire front end is made up of different companies to work together nor do I run the rubber gourmet. Voltex Race Front Sits much lower then a stock bumper as well.

Is it a Shine hood? They just started making them again and was looking at picking one up. If this is the case I am surprised at the fitment as they are usually very good, but perhaps it's the fenders.

Oil cooler is an easy enough fix. There are a shit load of options for whatever budget, and they're all pretty effective. Sakebomb makes a great plug and play kit, or if you want to piece something together and save some money, there's plenty of reading on this forum as far as what parts to use. Let me know if you have any questions, I could probably point you in the right direction.
