So Since I am not going with any crazy motor builds but am entering many shows, and I have seen this on alot of vehicles, only fiberglassed on a few but I'm thinking of a few things... Something To go around all edges, around the fender, the w/e its called pannel that humps up for the headlights but maybe not in the back. I was thinking 2 TV's maybe a voltmeter but I can do away with the TV's if anybody else has some good ideas. I will be ordering headers so I was considering maybe a plexi Window... This cover will be removable and I will keep it in the car until I get to the show, If i do the TV's I'll just leave the tip of the wiring harness out so I can easily turn them on. Any ideas?

that's what i thought, but then said no way because the heat would kill that screen super quick.

then i thought you were talking about something that you could prop the hood up with, like take out of your car and put on for shows, with hook-ups to some cables already in the engine bay...

which btw, i think is a better idea.

you could even have a whole wrap around fiberglass thing that props the hood up, with one large lcd in the front, and smaller ones on either sides. throw a couple hinges on where the sides would meet up with the front so you could semi fold it and transport it to shows. THAT would be b****in.

like imagine hanging a curtain from the edge of the hood of the open tib so that it shields the entire engine from view. now accomplish the same thing with fiberglass, but have it hold up the hood and entertain people with tvs facing forward and to the left and right.
