If you are considering removing the LeMans stripes sometime in the future you may want to replace the all fiberglass hood with the correct steel innerstructure hood at the same time. That would be the best time to make that kind of change given ether one involves painting a hood . FYI the car looks great just the way it is but just thought I would make you aware in case there is a opportunity.I am glad the car found it's way into the hands of a appreciative and enthusiastic care taker.Enjoy.

Thank you Bob! Yes, I am aware. Dave M. informed at some point during the purchase, when I asked him information about the car, that it was not a metal/fiberglass hood, so the best plan is to replace it. Correct is what I'm going for, as close as I can get. Finding a correct hood is job 1. I may just leave the stripes, until I find a hood, then repaint the car. The rest of the body is original and solid! If anyone here has or finds a correct hood for this I'd be interested. I'm leaving the Paxton, as I feel it doesn't hurt the value, and it's pretty cool.

Congrats on your purchase.  FYI, it may be optics but it appears the upper rad hose very close or rubbing on blower pulley. Bearing mind engine tq also a factor.  Enjoy.
