TAKE A LOOK AT HOW WE IMPROVED THE UNDERSIDE BY FINISHING ALL BUT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD SCOOP AREA. THIS WILL NOT ONLY IMPROVE THE HOODS UNDERSIDE APPEARANCE BUT WILL ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE PREPARATION TIME PRIOR TO PAINTING. BEST NEWS OF ALL----THERE IS NO INCREASE IN COST! All the mustangs pictured have our twin scoop hood installed. Notice how well they fit. The red coupe pictures were very recently sent to us from Robert with the following comments: "I would recommend your services to anyone i know or come across.I received hood for a fair price,was shipped at good price and arrived fast. The fit was very good and the paint and body guy made short work of it.It has turned out bitchin! Thanks Robert" This is a new hand laid all fiberglass hood for any 1965 or 1966 Mustang. Please do not confuse this hood with some of the poor fitting hoods that are being offered for sale or that you see on Classic Mustangs. K.A.R. Auto Group worked with a new fiberglass manufacturer to develop a twin scoop all fiberglass hood that would fit properly and look great. This hood is molded from a steel hood pattern to insure that it would be dimensionally correct. We test fitted the hood to a 1965 Mustang that has all original body panels and has never been in an accident. When it fit this car really well we knew we had the mold done right. We then test fitted it to a show quality car also with all original body panels. It fit well on that car also.The pictures that accompany this listing show those test fittings. We have also included pictures of a recent customers MCA trophy winning Mustang with his K.A.R. twin scoop hood installed. Please read this customer's testimonial at the end of this listing. You may also review our ebay feedback reviews from all the satisfied hood customers. After considerable research and testing we decided on an all fiberglass hood versus fiberglass with a steel frame structure. We are not metal or composite experts but were advised by knowledgeable people that all fiberglass was the way to go. These knowledgeable people stated that when you combine two different materials such as metal and fiberglass the materials react to heat and humidity differently and are therefore more prone to warp and crack over time. Don't know if if this true but it sounded plausible. This hood is metal reinforced at all mounting points. The metal reinforcements are drill and tapped to accept stock mounting hardware. There is no need for hood pins unless you simply like their look. Stock hood hinge springs should not be used with any fiberglass hood as they will cause the hood to bow in the middle over time. Light weight hood hinge springs or a prop rod should be used both of which are available from K.A.R. Auto Group. The twin scoop 1967 Shelby style hood has become very popular for 1965 and 1966 Mustangs. It is a great styling upgrade or RESTOMOD accent item. The K.A.R. STE Classic fastback featured on the cover of the December, 2006 issue of Mustang monthly magazine has this hood installed. Sure looks good in the picture. Due to their size hoods must be shipped by truck freight. We can provide truck freight quotes if you will provide a city and a zip code. Truck freight can be $35.00 to $75.00 less expensive to a commercial address versus a residence. We do not mark up truck freight. You pay what we pay. We do not charge a box fee. |

MINI JCW Cabrio at Monte Carlo Rally +video
Sun, 18 Oct 2009MINI JCW Cabrio with Paddy Hopkirk and Rauno Altonen in Monte Carlo So MINI thought it would be a great idea to get these two Rally greats together and take them back to the scene of their former triumphs. Only this time they sent them to Monte Carlo in a brand new MINI John Cooper Works Cabriolet to drive round part of the Rally stage. This is properly good video from MINI, with some great cutting between the classic Mini in action and the legendary pair driving and reminiscing.
Ford Fiesta – Good. Fiesta advertising – not so good.
Thu, 10 Dec 2009The billboard on a US Fiesta Display (click for bigger image) We have to hand it to Ford. They have handled the introduction of the Fiesta to the US market in a very clever, 21st century way. Their Fiesta Movement campaign paid big dividends and delivered a record level of awareness for a relatively unknown little car in the land of the V8 gas guzzler.
