I'm assuming what you are showing us with the measurements is how far off the OEM hood peak/center rib is from the sides, not how far off their scoop mounting is.

That's correct.

Got the trunk done with bedliner, we tinted it to match the exterior color:

Thanks you!  I'm working on my 57 and need to get it ready for paint and was trying to figure out cleaning up the trunk and replacing weather striping.  I'll have to make a Harbor Freight run.  When I pulled the WS it looks like caulking under, is that factory or did someone caulk after? 

The tintable bed liner is great!  Used it in the Ranchero bed and liked the results!  Would have painted it but the friend who wanted the car said the bed of the 66 I sold him was too slippery, could I put bed liner in?  Plan on using it when I start the 56 Crown Vic.

I sprayed the bottom with tinted bed liner.  Certainly not OE but very durable.  After only a few thousand miles, there is no wear inside the wheel wells.  I would absolutely apply to any future projects.  I would change the order of application.  I sprayed the bedliner before the finish surfaces.  If I did it again, I would spray the finish surfaces first and then spray the bedliner.  Taping off the bedliner was a pain!  Tape does not want to stick to bedliner!!

is that a light beige or metallic gold color Joe? Hard to tell in this pic.

Beautiful color. That will work very well!
Any contrasting pin-striping to accent body lines?

That'll look sharp! 

that is a really beautiful color choice, well done Joe !

Thanks, got the engine compartment done today. It looks glossy but will dry to a satin black:

A little better now that it's dry:

Got it all masked up so they can get the jams painted and cleared:
