Well, some good news! I found my sand blaster, and the new package of tips for it. It was in the shop, right by a walk through door. It was actually put away. That's nuts.

Last night I was reminiscing of my child hood remembering how I used to build lego models of this car. For what ever reason, I always built it with a hood scoop. As I was envisioning the old lego car, I saw a late 70's T/A that had a shaker hood scoop. It's funny that shaker scoop is the near same shape as the scoop I had on the lego 40. Is it destiny? So I'm seriously considering putting a shaker hood scoop on top of the dual quads on the hemi. What do you guys think? At first I didn't want to cut a hole in my hood. But if I had a supercharger, it wouldn't be a question. I think it will look cool and help set the car apart from most other 40 Fords.
