new theory... wonder if it would work

Ninjawafers! · March 21st, 2007, 09:05 AM

this prolly belongs in the visual section but heres my new theory...

a 99-04 hood on a 94-98

in theory it should work as the only difference in the actual shape is the 94-98 hood is slightly more curved at the part that goes over the grill, whereas the 99-04 is a lil more angled there (and for the cosmetics of course but that wouldnt play a part in this). that slight difference shouldnt be a problem since adjustments can be made to level the hood correctly. if my theory is correct about the hood being able to fit, then it would open the door to a lot more possibilities for the 94-98 stangs

so what does everyone think about this?

i have a friend back home that is willing to experiment with this theory when he has the time

I think you'll have to do some work on the leading edge of the hood. Do a search on the 3.8mustang forum. There are some images of someone trying it.

you can get it all to work with a good bodyman... theyare fiberglass hoods & fiberglass is easy to mold & shape.. if you get a really good custom bodyshop to do it, it will all work pretty good for sure! some guys can do amazing things!

i would be doing the body work myself... im an ex bodyman just dont have too much experience with fiberglass. i think it will work with some minor modifications but im still not sure.

anyone else's opinions on this matter?

I've heard that they don't swap easily, but like you said if you can find a decent shop to do it for you then it should transition fine.

Here's a question: How much do GT/Cobra hoods need to be modded to fit on my six? I'm going to put a crate engine in and I want a more aggressive hood.

same year the hood just bolts up

anyways for you definately try it out go to an auto wrecker and steal a hood for cheap.. see if it all works out if not sell the hood ? lol actually i think you get 30 day warrenty ? lol anyways definately something new.. might as well try it
