You ought to know, you painted it, and buffed it out! Thanks again for your help with that, and helping me get it on and lined up the best we could.

Thanks guys, I really like it. I've liked the cowl hood look since before I owned a C10, so I knew I wanted it eventually. I'm pretty happy with it out of the box.

I do have a small issue. Aaron and I installed the Eddie Motorsports hood hinges and the entire hood sits too far to the passenger side. There is relatively no adjustment side to side, so I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to get it lined up perfectly, but I do know the entire truck needs some panel alignment done, so I'm not worried about it yet. After an hour of adjustment, we have it the best we could get it without going through and aligning the rest of the panels.

I'm wanting to take it to LST with the C/10 Club at the end of February, so I won't be pulling it apart before then, but I think I'll be doing it shortly after that. At least getting the panels lined up better.
