Thankyou very much for all the great comments. Tell me your style as Ben did and I can build it. All it takes is time and money and if you dont have the money then you better have the time, LOL.  Thanks again Norm.

It must be nice to see a vision, take time to perfect your craft, and then apply it to a project. This is a very nice car. Excellently done, and I am sure will make the owner proud for years to come!

As always Norm, you have outdone yourself, and I see the hood is complete for the SKY's. It looks great! Enjoy the rewards of a job well done!

CT Sol, i don't think this is the viper hood for the sky that Norm is preparing.
This looks like the one that Spicy has, but made for the Sky.
IIRC the viper style hood for the Sky will be a bit different..similar to this but different

 Different, I like parts of the concept, some of the others are not my cup of tea. The thing I love about Norm's work is fitment. Haven't seen anyone else that makes it look like factory work. :thumbs:

So Norm, is this a one off special for Ben only OR, now that you have the investment in the mold made, we sky guys can get a formula hood?  Do tell!

Still looking to get a VX Lightning style front bumper cover w/ incorporated splitter, side fenders like the Mercedes SLR McLaren, a wide body kit (fender flares), the modified center exit exhaust fascia (i mentioned it in another thread), uhhhh and other stuff that I cannot think of at this time. You're going to be busy Norm. I am happily awaiting the Viper style hood you are working on.  :thumbs:
