Best seal is no seal.  You may want to consider that...
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

if you look at the pic,  i've kept the body pretty faithful to an original . if i was building a NASCAR clone i would go with no seal.  :cheers: :cheers:

Say, Sam - what about Daytona Guy's system that (if I recall correctly) eliminates the need for a nose-to-fender seal?

That's the look I was going for.

Bring the nose in close, but without eliminating the rubber altogether, like the Superbirds. :cheers:

I LIKE IT . A LITTLE MORE OF A MODERN LOOK   :cheers: :cheers:

I've got a pop-up spring for the hood. :Twocents:

It won't go on until the hood pins are installed. ;)





I just realized something... :scratchchin:

I haven't touched my car since July !

I only had it on there briefly during the mock up phase to make sure it would work.

I don't think I have a picture of it.
