Andy, That reminds me of the guy with the fake air scoop on the trunk. Maybe if I started with a damaged hood, adding a faux air scoop could make room for a rear tire or other large items if it didn't block the visibility too much. Have you ever had anyone at a filling station ask where the engine is when you have the trunk open? How about someone make the upper half of a mock-up engine and stick it in the trunk to confuse people at car shows? Make it real looking and label it as Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Tucker, Bell Helicopter, Mr Fusion or whatever. What a riot that would be! Bad bad!
