Magicpineapple! PROH Hood Desig Flaw!

[Hudd]

I'm the one that had the problems with the Good Hood and the PROH. On the Turbo the radiator filler neck is taller and the bar on the hinge hits it. You cannot adjust it enough that it won't. Jimmy worked with me and created a different bar that clears the cap. The cross bar also hit the intake so he made me a different crossbar. Can't complain about the way he has worked with me. No charge to replace with the new parts. I'd say tha'ts good service.

Good point and good post. We should remember that Magic designed the PROH originally for the stock steel hood and the normally aspirated Cruisers. The differing layout of the turbo engine, the differences in aftermarket hoods, all these came later and Magic has done a great job making the necessary adjustments to his original design. Heck, compare his quality and his responsiveness to so-called "professional" outfits like the late, unlamented Rapidcrap or California Cruisers. No contest.
