First one looks a tidy car.

Another convertible. A small story attached to this car - note the unusual hood. I had this hood made up when I restored my first fast back, back in 1982. I later went with the Mach1 NASA hood and sold this at a MEET. Strange to see it turn up all these years later.

After all these years I've got used to the different names.

Yes it's good to see the hood has lasted this long, I got the idea from a 68 GT500 Shelby and grew out of the idea after it was made.[/align]

That is neat your old hood would show up. Any regrets selling it?

Only from a nostalgic point of view. This was part of my first project on my first Mustang/American car I owned, 30 years ago. It takes me back and reminds me of my intial enthusiasm and all the mistakes I made. Pre internet, with no help or guidance, other than seeing other cars at the odd show. Plus a very good friend who was as just as mad about Mustangs as me, who is no longer with us. Yes, it was a long time ago in a lot of ways.

I like the style and not "over done" slight rise tastefully done.

He REALLY wanted to promote that hood.... a bucha shots huh!!

I have seen quite a few attempts to modify the hood on 71-73's and have NEVER liked one until I saw yours. Very tasteful, could have been done by Ford and I think I would have a appreciated it as much. Well done!

Thanks, yes I didn't want to spoil the overall shape of the car, to me the shape with its concealed wipers and flush door handle was ahead of its time.

Thinking back, I was also influenced from seeing a late 70's Aston Martin. However the Ram Air hood is unique to a 71 - 73 mustang with a variation of it on an Australian Ford.

Thankyou. I remember once I had bought a ram air bonnet and decided to sell this one, my late freind and I strapping this modified hood to the roof of his old runaround and making our way across London in the traffic to a 'Mustang owners club of Great Britian' meet, where the new buyer was found. Must have looked a sight

That was the last I saw of it till this recent advert.
