What an unusual build. It’s definitely different, though. Top notch work.

I WOULD NOT want to cut a hole in a hood, especially a customer's hood, but Mikey really pulled it off (never doubted him for a second)!

Once you realized you had to cut the hood I think ITB's were the move.

Absolutely insane!!! You guys a turning out some amazing fab work!!!!

looking sick as always guys! Outstanding work!

Crazy hood! One more masterpiece for my favorite Continental!

Nice fitment! 👍 If the owner is planning on taking it to car shows. You may want to consider adding a beauty panel on the inside of the hood to cover all the supports. That thing is massive and very visible when open. It would really make the entire inside of the engine compartment pop like a jewelry box. 👍

That's a good idea! We'd probably have to do something light like a mesh to make sure the paneling on the inside doesn't start pulling down on the upper part of the hood it's supposed to be supporting!

Great job, Mike, awesome entertainment while one the chair for treatment, just 4 more over another 8 weeks. You perk me up with this video, a hole in the hood , interesting, better than a pro stock scoop!

Love the vision for the hood! I do think the straight section of the intake pipe would look sick if it was chopped up into pieces cuts and welded back together to have the continuity with the 90s down and over. Then again,… y’all have the overall vision so maybe I’m way off. Either way y’all are killing’ it!

Oh no!! Should have welded those supports to the existing bracing and bonded it to the hood skin using the foaming adhesive like what is done from the factory. Those welds are going to start ghosting through on the surface after some heat cycles from the engine.

The intake piping looks prime for some gun bluing

Turning the throttle body 180, the cable from the bottom and the IAC valve is more hidden

The small section of hood behind the throttle body is going to contact the throttle cable

I was thinking same thing!

Always killer.

I had a very similar continental (66' 2-door hard top) that I always wanted to do a 7.3 PS swap on because it had the 462cid engine and even a rebuild kit was 1k+ back in ~2005

The throttle cable you’re going to install is going to hit on the hood bc the section by the throttle actuator will be sitting under the cable and when the hood comes up it prob won’t clear, but I could be wrong lol

More bitchin' S2S fab work. I was away last week but caught up past night, so full hood fun for me.!

Gotta wait for the end result, but this keeps getting more promising! Just, why didn’t you elongate the part which went vertical just before the inlet, and choose to modify the horizontal part?

A teardrop hood scoop would be period hot rod correct and would look sick imo

Good morning Luis!

Looking good. Can that throttle quadrant be reattached to the body such that the pull is downward into the engine bay rather than the pull being back towards the windscreen?

I cant see how the throttle cable is going to work. Looking forward to seeing that.

Make sure you're subscribed then!

Looks like the throttle cable will interfere with opening the hood. Looks like the cable will span over part of your notch.

How's the throttle cable going to work with that notch on the hood coming between the TB and where you want to add a mount on top of the intake manifold?

🔥

Isn't that little tab on the passenger side of the hood cutout going to hit the cable for the throttle body when it's installed?

I think I see a problem? The piece of the hood under where the throttle cable will run will snag the cable when the hood is opened?

How about dropping the throttle linkage down and under the throttle body and along drivers side of intake below the hood using cable/ mechanical linkage instead of over the top? Every thing is so clean looking why have a cable sticking out the hood..

I would have been more a cowl fan then the hole but it looks nice. Will the cable catch the hood when it opens?

@SalvagetoSavage

2 ай бұрын

It shouldn't!

How would you be able to lift the hood when the throttle cable was in place?

Could you metal finish under the hood. So you don't see any braces. You killed it on the cold air intake & and top of the hood!!!!!

@SalvagetoSavage

2 ай бұрын

Yeah! We would just have to make sure the paneling is light enough to not start pulling at the bracing and upper layer of the hood!

Umm, small question. That is a beast of a motor with a lot of horse power, won't it twist even a little when revved? Wouldn't that cause it to slam the right side of that hole? Or rattle against it at the least? Did it have solid mounts? I don't remember.

@SalvagetoSavage

2 ай бұрын

We should have enough clearance all the way around to account for any shifting of the engine!

Why didn't you guys flip the throttle body 180° so you don't have to run the cable over the intake?

Wait??!!!! The cars not going all murdered out black? What's the colour it will be Boss??

Redo those pie cuts and get rid of that bump in the intake elbow. Should be smooth 90 strait out.
