Kirkham Super Snake Hood on a Shelby
 
We had a customer want us to put an aluminum Super Snake hood on his fiberglass Shelby. Turned out pretty cool :)

There is a MONSTER under the hood.

Looks like amazing work! And an interesting color scheme.

We managed to squeeze my twin Paxton in the stock hood but just barely, and I mean barely. Always nice to know the option is out there ;)

Where can I purchase this hood preferably in Fiberglas for my Contemporary Cobra?

How much custom work was there to making it fit? Was there a lot of difference between the KMS hood and the glass Shelby body?

Ironically enough, Bruce M, the guy who works magic with fiberglass, is mr bruce. His handy work is all over this site. Search his ID.

Interestingly, the Shelby hood was about an 1 1/2 narrower and about an inch shorter. We just made it fit--that's what we do :)

Hmmm, Kirkham hood on a Shelby. Does it still qualify as 'REAL'? :3DSMILE:

It's a better kept secret than Apple's iPhone 5.

I'm betting that if you open the hood, you'll see this powering that Shelby:
