Anyone got any photo's of this hood on a '65/'66 Mustang Coupe with Shelby stripes (prefer blue w/white stripes if you got a photo)

I'd like to see what it looks like besides the one in the magazine...

any help would be appreciated!


(would you go with that hood or the Shelby GT350 hood? I have a bolt on hood scoop GT350 style, and want either the R2S hood or Shelby whole piece)

Thanks and Happy Holidays!!

The current stock of 1965-66 GT350 fiberglass hoods at Mustangs Plus will need plenty of work to make them look and fit good. I just purchased one and found out the hard way. First, they are about 1/2" short in the back (not including the usual gap), they tend not to be flat (require some heavy sanding to level), and the hood latch bolt holes are about a 1/2" short.

Some people will be fine with these production problems, I was not. I went back to Mustangs Only and found out that this is not unusual and they are suppose to tell customers about these fitting problems before they buy the hood (Brian - Mustangs Only). I wish they told me. Brian wanted to see some pics of the hood, so I might post them here also if interested.

First time posting pics on forum. If it doesn't work I will host them on my home site.
