Very very nice.
This is why they call me Creepy.

I just noticed the emblem holes on the leading edge of the hood in your 1st pictures, these will be removed right?

Re: FutoFab Introduces Steel 510 Body Parts
What looks like emblem holes are really ink from a magic marker.
Here are some pictures of pre-production hood and USDM front fenders that I received for trial fitment and comment on. These parts were installed on a '71 2 door that is in my shop.
Quickly dropped onto the chassis and partially bolted into place without any adjust these parts fit quite well. This is not a virgin chassis, it has had the valance replaced and the radiator support has body filler where it connects to the driver side inner fender suggesting the radiator support may have also been replaced.
Both fenders were put in place and the hood bolted on in about 2 hours (which includes chasing down hardware that was put away safely for reuse and not able to be found when needed). With some fine adjustment during installation, these parts will fit as good as the originals.
