Thanks Eric. I like the hood too. I got the car this way, and it does have some of the things that usually came in the Caribbean, like the dual carb setup with the huge double air cleaner and the wire wheels. I remember I read somewhere a long time ago that when the dealers had no Caribbeans, they could add the options to the Four Hundred including the hood, but I have no idea wether this car had the equipment added from the dealer or if it was later on in it's lifetime. Anyhow, I like it as it is now. I got a correct regular hood, in case I decide to change it. I would love that it would have the pushbutton transmission and the air conditioner... but you can't have it all, I guess.

Thanks again,
Victor
