I think if we can get enough people signed up, they will make a hood like this for the SHO...

That's not too bad. Gen I or II?

 

[nc89sho]

I like it too, but for a gen 1.

I think it looks really ugly. I dont know anyone who would want to reck there car by putting that hood on eek!

Fred already personally talked to a Cervini rep at Carlise this summer.He was told they had no interest because there is no volume.

They told me 2 years ago I had to get 200 people at least to make it worth their while. I only got like 40 names that were interested from SHOtimes then your best bet is to find a custom shop and have it done for you I'm sorry to say.

That hood is freaking awesome! When i wanted a t-bird. I was wanting to get a hood like that!! I say go for the hood. if they will make it. I am in!

 

[GreenBird]

The bird hood is obviously bigger than a SHO hood. If they don't want to make it, we might be able to modify the bird hood to fit a SHO.

The main thing would be the angles of the hoods. then the brakets. I'm going to measure my gen I and t-bird tomorrow. I also currently have a Gen II in my yard, so I can look for you guys too.

 

[ShoGuy93]

Lets us know man!

 

[93nighthawk]

It would be SWEET! definitely let me know and how much.

good news and bad news. bad is that the T-bird hood is wider, so you can't use the stock mounting. However, since it is wider, you can use their lift off version that uses hood pins.

The hood is both wide enough and long enough for use on a Gen I or a Gen II. Definately possible.
