I had a compliment at Kroger parking lot, guy said he loved everything I did with the car but I should have stopped before I cut the hole in the middle of the hood,
he said something to the effect that was an old school scoop from the 60s.... went on and on about why old parts should be on new cars... I politely thanked him, opened the cutout and started the beast and rolled out.
Good times, but I have had several other comments but this is one I can never forget.
