    *Custom Hood Poll*

    As you all know nobody makes an aftermarket hood for the Marauder/Marquis/Vic, but Doug from Champion Fiberglass Products has shown interest in such a project if we can decide on "one" style of hood from the designs he already makes for other cars.
    We need to choose from one of his exsisting hood designs to keep cost down, estimated cost is in the mid to high 300 dollar range.

    http://www.championfiberglassproducts.com/

    Doug stated in another post "If I had a commitment for 40 hoods I would eat the cost of the mold."
    http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...highlight=hood

    So I am starting this poll to get an idea of who is interested and which style is most popular. This is the first poll which will be opening for 60 days, so other polls will most likely follow to narrow down the choices.

    Dual scoop Ram Air = Mach 1, Super Mach, Mach III, Stallion.


    These images are for illustration purposes only, meaning no hoods actually exist.
    If a hood were to be put into production the size, shape, and style may/will differ from the illustrations provided below.
    These images are to give you a general idea of what the hood might look like.


    Standard Raised Cowl (exactly style to be determined)




    Cobra R Raised Cowl (exactly style to be determined)




    Dual Scoop Ram Air (exactly style to be determined)




    SVO 80's style Scoop (exactly style to be determined)




    Stock Steel Hood

    I'd love either a dual scoop ram air type or a raised cowl. If it's sub $400 as predicted my credit card is also on standby.
