Upgrade to version Heavy GT 2.0…

Well the new version is finally finished and after all the dicking around with TechCo and other hoods, decided on what I consider to be the best choice…the Blow By Racing 3” cowl hood by Kaneen. Fit and finish is second to none. Thanks go to Ronnie at Color All Auto Body out of Elk Grove Village, IL. and Erin for all his knowledge and expertise. Just need to finish it off with a set of powder coated Shelby hood pins.

The same that's on my rear medallion

Don't have any pics of it since I installed it. Just took one with my cell phone here at work where she gets quite dusty...

Looks great. I miss the stripes, though.

I almost went with those wheels, but they were too expensive at the time.
