Easy tiger . Just got the hood last night. I need an extra set of hands to check the fit before I paint. Hopefully this week but I will get you mock up pics as soon as I have them

Got the hood home and it is brand new...thought it was from an 11. will have to check the part number as it was advertised as an 11 hood. All initial measurements look good. Now I just need a second set of hands to mock it up to ensure it fits before paint.
where did you find It in alberta haha. I know it wasn't kijiji cause I have that search saved in my phone and check every couple days haha

I did find it on kijiji. a manager from a local accessories place was selling it for a customer. PM me if you want further details because I think I got a smoking deal on it. and they are hard find...made a few calls last thursday to auto wreckers around the province looking for one. when I realized how hard they are to find, I made sure I got this one.

Well it fits. as mentioned previously, the top of the hood may stick out a bit over the grill but the 1500 hood does that too. the 1500 chrome trim does not fit on the hd hood so I'm going to look around for an hd trim piece but will likely just make the 1500 trim fit the hd hood. I was able to swap the hood on and off by myself last night...pretty impressed with myself actually

here are a couple of shots..

Thanks! I actually used cargo tie downs anchored to my garage ceiling and attached them to the hood latch. That way I could swing the hood around. Some careful towel placement and the swap went well. Must have had someone on my side as I managed to lose a hood bolt but had a spare lying around.

Prep starts tomorrow pm. I may be ready to paint on the weekend but I'm not sure.
