got this when I was in Hawaii from latamud (classics)

going to start fiberglassing it this weekend to smooth it out. I know it isn't a good picture But there will be more during the installation of it.

Thats gonna crack off in about a year. Fiberglass on metal is a no no.

There's really something beautiful about an old blue Stang isn't there?

89white50 · Apr 10, 2006

can you rivet it and sand the rivets down as well as the fiberglass? i was also thinking about the fiberglass to metal warping or cracking.

Aaron'S'tang · Apr 10, 2006

I can't for the life of me figure out why you would want to put that on your car.

I can't see why people put ground effects on notches but it happens.

I am going to go with a svo cobra r hood but I don't have the cash since I just bought a 351W. So this will keep me entertained for a bit. and if it doesn't turn out then I can get the other hood even faster.

This is what I have done in the past with no issues whatsoever. I didn't sand the rivets down though. Just recessed them a little and blended them in.

I appreciate all your opinions but only mine counts.

ws6?

I don't know. It looks like it but it didn't come off a hood or anything. It came just like that. Still gotta a lot of shaping and trimming to do to make it right.

Guy on ebay sells them. Like you said, you can rivet it down recessed. And then cover it with a few layers on fiberglass matt on the edges to blend it together. Don't use bondo, it will crack. It looks mean in the rear view, so I've been told. I think it will fit on your car better than mine. I had to flex the scoop to get it to sit right on my hood. If it sits on your hood that flush it should be smoother. It was a lot of sanding to get the edges right.

putting a GM part on your car would be a discrace to the boards..

Oh man, what is happening here, am I on the wrong site???????????????????????????????? I must have typed the wrong eddress, let me try again.

Aaron'S'tang · Apr 11, 2006

Nope it's still there. Looks great on a T/A or Camaro! Looks like a couple of butt cheaks sticking out of the hood on a mustang.

old_blue · Apr 11, 2006

OMG! you are right... I won't put it on... infact, what color should I paint my car? I want it to look just like everyone elses and I would hate to use a GM color (like no one has).

I can hear the remark coming now "go grow a mullet and buy a camaro" right? thanks again, I'll keep my car the way I want it.
I still appreciate the criticism though.

Ha, that was funny, it made me laugh for the first time today. I think you should paint your car Fararri Red, yeah, that would be cool.

Just my opinion, will probably look better on your car than on the oldie. I have a Saleen wing on my notch and that isn't the popular choice but most days I think it looks mean, others I want to tear it off. It is the only notch with a Saleen wing around me, or notch period for that matter that I have seen. So I guess I feel ya on this one, but I would definetly try and find a picture of a car just like yours before you start riveting and glassing that thing on, just to save you the trouble in case you think it looks like a couple of butt cheeks sticking out of the hood when you are done! Good luck.

go for it... all that matters is if you like it.. and if you want to be different then thats your way.. thing is you may be going in a unpopular direction with different.. but thats for you to work out, not stangnets.. lol
