Todd had this hood made because he put on the Ford GT 5.4 heads with the adapter plates and there wasn't enough clearance.

I have a guy local who is going to do mine. It's going to follow the body line, but I'm going with a 4" rise. And I'm having 6 gauges added to it. I'll let you all know what it's going to cost me. Here it the guys shop website www.madmods.com he's done a lot of custom cars, he has a few in Fast &Furious pt2. Check it out.
