TC hood "use what you got" the Flat hood looks fine also but depends on what you want to do.

1987 T-Bird AEROBIRD-GT had many many mods but is now totaled and is the car that made me want to start customizing everything all over again.

Did you make another hood?

Pretty sure its the same one. different paint. I think someone said that in another thread.

I like it the way it is but I like the T/c hood too. My question is do you want others to look at your car like that is one sharp ride or that is one sharp ride with some MODS. From my experience with plain hood people were like oh yeah its an old T-bird. Then with the T/c hood people were like What have you got done to it? It all depends on witch one you want!

yeah that was the same hood...  I exhausted myself building that one for someone and cant even get the urge to start another one for myself....  although I have started to make a version similar to the one on Gregs Cat....:D

The "smooth" hood just goes better with the look of your car in my opinion.  I have a TC hood right now but am thinking about going back to the stock one when it gets repainted because, well, its just more smooth looking!

Normally, I would say it's a no-brainer and recommend the TC hood, but WOW, the color, the wheels, (the hood), your car is just SO clean looking, it would be tough to make it better. The only improvement I can think of would maybe be some dark window tint. That would set it off even more. But.... SHARP CAR just the way it is!!

i have to vote for the flat hood as well. I have a TC hood for my car but the clean look of the stock hood is the way to go for me too. After thinking about it myself for a while, I decided that if something doesn't have a function then what's the point? Your car looks great the way it is.

Thanks for all the feedback.  I think I will stay with the stock hood...even though I've been tripping over that Turbocoupe hood in my shed for like four friggin' years.  Anybody around Annapolis Maryland who needs one?  It's pretty nice.

I think your car looks ultra classy the way it is.  I'm a big fan of understated sleepers.

Ha!  The better question may be where isn't there rust on this car.  Rear window -  bottom of both quarters - bottom of both doors - and the dest thing, the  that the weatherstrip fastens to at the top of the passenger side door rusted completely away.  I've never seen that before.  I'm going to have my painter go around the whole car and fix whatever needs it.  I've been trying to get it done for a year, but he is always booked solid.  I'd go somewhere else, but he's really, really good.  He painted it for me the first time, 14 years ago.
