Been a while everyone.... finally had the Turbo Coupe hood painted.. (i saved it from a car two years back that was a parts only car, along with the rims) and I'll be hanging the hood this Sunday.
The snouts are the same color but I've fabricated insets, which will be black, to keep the water from dripping on the distributor. I'll update the post in a few days!
(the pictures show the paint doesn't match up, but in person, they do!)

Thanks Jeff!
Got it on! of course, there is a fit issue.. (why would it just fit perfectly the first time... ). It looks like the fan shroud is different (higher) that the Turbo Coupe's and I have to adjust it down a bit. Hopefully I don't have to do anything else. I did see that the pins that hold down the snouts are a bit long too and touch the shroud.
I think it'll work out... others have done it before!
