Is that the VFN hood?

Cut a path from my shed with the snow blower, yeah I’ve had enough! It’s still coming down and won’t finally clear out of here until tonight!

Some drifting here but not that bad. I needed to get to my shed in case I needed the generator.I haven’t even started to dig out yet, the snow drifts are as tall as my truck!

Yes. It’s the 2 step VNF hood. I don’t see it on their website. Hopefully it’s not discontinued. I’m sure you could inquire about it.Is that the VFN hood?
This pic makes me want to put a cowl hood back on my car.
I did, but it was a 94/95 cowl. I’ve swapped over to the 96/97 hood and headlights, and sold that hood.Yes. It’s the 2 step VNF hood. I don’t see it on their website. Hopefully it’s not discontinued. I’m sure you could inquire about it.

Yes you guessed it. When buying used parts for collision repair you can buy a front or rear "clip" and that is what they do, they cut it half and sell the whole front (or rear) end.What would they cut the mustang in half for? Maybe saving a front wrecked car?
Just seems odd they took so much of it. Maybe going that far back is easiest to cut. And I may know more about this than I let on. Parts car below.Yes you guessed it.
