I finally scored a Crossfire hood that I can play with and started cutting it up yesterday. I hope to work on it a little bit each week(for many many weeks) until it is perfect. Basically it's a Crossfire/Jaguar XKR hybrid hood..............I am eliminating the boat deck look while at the same time adding nice subtle vents and retaining the center spine.
Here is stage one.............
