I have #3-Right on my car, but do you want to build your car or do you want us to build it for you? Take the different pics into one, set it as your computer wallpaper and eliminate the ones you get sick of the most.

Personally I would stay away from Mustangs Plus hoods. Here is my experience with one of their GT350 hoods (http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=716142&highlight=hood+fiberglass). Unless you like doing a lot of fiberglass work.

Search and ask around about quality and fitment before purchasing.

I do not think that #6 exists for a 66 only for the 67

Therefore I want #3 for my 66

I am interested in seeing this hood in person, its based on the 2003 Cobra R hood. Here is the website: http://www.usbody.com/ShopOn-Line/

Besides that one, I have always wanted the '67 Gt 500 hood, but I have not seen one with louvres for 65/66's.

I like the GT500.

The RamJet just looks funny going so far forward, and the R98 is too sharp edged.
Otherwise, I like the idea of those two scoops.
They remind me of the old Dodge Demon double scoop.
I run one of those on my 75 Maverick.
My 72 Maverick has a carbon fiber hood.
I am surprised no one makes them for Stangs.

The GT500 with louvers is too busy IMO, and the GT350 is done to death.
The other one posted later in the thread looks like the hood got bumped and is swollen...
The 3" cowl is done to death also, but I like it.

These are my opinions!
Yours and others may vary, as they should!
