This afternoon, I just finished the color wet sanding, and the initial power buff and polish. I missed a few spots, but I'll take care of those after assembly and final polish. Yes, the hood is reminisent of american muscle. My first car was a 1969 Camaro rs and yes, I loved it. Had to sell to go to school and the hood kind of takes me back. For those of you who have never gotten to drive a decent old muscle car, to bad....Anyway, I have always believed that the Japanese philosophy of using someone else's good/neat ideas and adapting those to their culture was really intelligent so, why shouldn't I? The scoops won't be there for decoration - I fully intend to build my own ram air type setup using those for the intake point. It was the easiest way to do it that I could see even if it was an American idea. As for the size of the paint booth, it is not near big enough (nothing ever is). I believe it is only about 26ft deep and about 15 ft wide. I'll update the pics when there is something worth seeing. I am working on this and my wife's mazda 6s at the same time (and her's has to be done by the end of next week).
