If only the builder could have done a better job with the hood scoop. Doesn't look right. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-Ford-O...ash=item58efa4b9ff:g:cSYAAOSwj85YNdSv&vxp=mtr
From what I understand, the scoop is needed in order to clear the swapped-over '88 Turbo T-Bird setup, unless you want to do a lot of plumbing work........
Indeed, it looks like the hood was cut to clear the engine. At least they could have painted it to match. And it looks to be held in place with just four bolts. Or maybe self-tapping screws. I actually kind of like this car. It might be a hoot to drive with some wider tires.
Throw some 14" Fox-body Mustang wheels with lo-pro tires, and some Koni's on all four corners. Then it'll be really fun.
It is cool, but not for $10k in my book. Given the hood scoop and the funky angle the clutch pedal is at and the automatic brake pedal (c'mon) I wonder about the rest of the work done to this thing.
