This hood looks like a very cool project. I dont have and SRT but I would like to get rid of the Flying Wing on the front leading edge of the hood....

Where in Vegas are you? I'm in the North West by 215 and Cheyenne...

I'm on the West side near Rainbow & Flamingo

 

I hate you. lol

Now I am looking for a XF hood and an 2007 XXR jag hood.

 

love this project. posted earlier in the yr about combining these hoods. cant wait to see it.

 

Here's a little update on progress...cut the support to allow for fully functional vents and relocated brace...

Trimmed XKR hood down to almost final fitment size...

I see it finished in my head. If the workmanship is done well it should look amazing. Good luck update often please! like said by many others would you think of making a mold out of it once your finished or is this just for your baby?

 

You don't have to worry about the workmanship...I do bodywork on cars that are worth more than my house and seldom have complaints that are due to my work. I do not know how to build/do a mold myself and wouldn't consider having some company do it unless they made it worth my while. As with most of my custom mods I will have a LOT of man hours invested to make a one off piece/part that looks like it was OEM.

 

It is looking really nice. I cannot wait to see when it is done.

 

are you going to put the spine back in or leave it like that?

 

Spine will be on the final design...it just throws the picture/look of rite now due to the different color and it doesn't sit flush without clamping/welding it in place.

 

nice... yea sorry i couldnt tell from the pic but its lookin good.

 

This looks very interesting. Keep up the good work.

 

you body shop guys are like artists, it takes you awhile to get inspired, but once you get going, it is always turns out special...I miss my shop days as a youngster, we did a lot w/ fiberglas in my day, I had vettes then...looks grt and I know it will be 1 of a kind...keep the photos coming...

 

Can we get ya to lay it on the car (as is) so we can get an idea what it looks like on the car?

 

will you be selling these? i want one!

Am I crazy, or does that look too small?

Moparrbust's "hood" project piqued my interest enough for me to impose upon his hospitality at 8:00 A.M. this morning.
I always enjoy meeting new Crossfire owners, and Mike is a great guy who really knows his stuff when it comes to making "Crossfire" mods. When he gets done with all his plans for his SRT, it's going to be one formidable Crossfire. (not that it wasn't already)
His Supercharged "CrossJag" or JagFire hood (take your pick) looks like it's going to be a very cool alternative to the Crossfire/Sebring/Pacifica/SUV hood strakes. Mike is an autobody "Craftsman" and I'm betting the finished product is going to come out looking like it's factory.
This brings me to the reason for my post. Since the Crossfire's beautiful lines lend itself so perfectly to tasteful mods, and there are more than a few forum members that have their own ideas about what they would like to do, (but probably very few of us that share Mikes skills for "metallic" bodywork,) wouldn't it be a whole lot easier for the rest of us to have a "fiberglass" Crossfire hood to work with?
If we could get enough "serious" people together, maybe it wouldn't be too late to get AAR to duplicate the Crossfires "stock" hood, and then it would be a simple matter of customizing it anyway you choose because "glass" is so much easier to work with.
I just thought I'd put this out there for discussion.
