I see it. So yes this is the article that has screwed up countless hoods. But also I have seen a lot of the patterns that were freehanded I guess and most of those are even worse. I know we’ve said this before but it is absolutely amazing how many hoods are just the completely wrong pattern.
Ok good you found it. I thought that was the one from MM, just not sure. Actually, the side dimensions would not be too bad, but it's the front portion that so many get wrong. The layout pattern I got from Graphics Express may or may not be a copy of the MM sketch, but it suggests 6" all the way down the long sides from the hood edge. However, as I've said before, he used that only as a guide and taped it off. It was me that told him 2" from the front of the hood forgetting the trim piece was not yet on the car, so I can't blame him for that screw-up.
I'm actually thinking of talking to my painter about redoing mine, but I worry about getting the Light Pewter metallic to match. It will look far worse if the paint is off.
