New Hood On! Harwood Outlaw




Next month after I get the 350 in, I'm gonna sand her down all the way around and get her painted white like my 85 was...well either that or black. I wanted something different so I put clips on the front, which I think makes it look good. Got some minor things to touch up, but other than that I love it! Let me know what you all think!

Needs a 5" spoiler on the rear to balance it out now. That or a shorter cowl... Any cowl hood taller than 2-3" on a street car looks goofy to me.

sorry dude but i think those are way too big, unless the car is tubbed with a parachute out back.

The rest of the car is nice though. I would leave it blue, I love that colour!

Sweeeet. I have the same one. The only thing I did not like about it was the fit.

I thought since he has the molded on spoiler he has to do some body work to upgrade? I am wrong?

Someone told me that I'd have to cover up some holes where bolts are on the back. I dunno tho. I always wanted the high rise one tho..just don't know what has to be done to put her on.

There are some pretty big holes in the quarter that have to be welded up, and bondo'ed.

Yea best way would be to cut out circles out of a old fender or thin metal and get a magnet to hold them level with your hole and then weld it closed...that way there is a minimal amount of body filler needed which makes a better quality job.

Same as doing an antenna or door handles you want to fill with metal then glaze it with filler for finishing..trust me i've done tons of em

I kinda like the way it is without the high rise spoiler. Irocbirdbuilder looks like he has the same size cowl in his sig, and it doesnt look unbalanced to me.

But then again, i dont like the high rise spoilers period.

Ah I guess I didnt notice because it was at an angle. But I still dont think that jc265's looks bad. If he wanted one, I'd go with what irocbirdbuilders is like then

that doesnt look to bad in pictures. All the ones Ive seen in person though I didnt like.

I think anything more then my 3inch is a waste unless you deff need it for the clearance.
