looks really good. all the fab work looks excellent. one question tho. why does the front of the hood stick out so far?

the fenders are narrowed, so they dont go straight out making them look shorter and not line up with the hood. he could have shortened the hood but it looks like too much work.

On the76 blazer the hood originally tapers back towards the cab above the head lights on both sides2-3 inches.I narrowed the hood right where the taper began.With the taper cut out the hood doesen't line up as well with the fenders.No much I could do about it.The 80's K5 hoods are straight and would line up better with a front taper job.OnceI get it on the trails and get a few dents in it I'm sure it will blend in better :D :D

Here is a pic showing where I cut the hood
