[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16107799, member: 83412"] To further explicate and follow up on post [URL='https://www.svtperformance.com/threads/anyone-else-frustrated-with-ford-over-the-next-gt500.1140923/page-285#post-16105002']#5697[/URL] up above. I came upon an image I hadn't seen anywhere else. It looked to me like the photo that was cropped and then shared by Ford Performance a month or so ago when all they would say was "1/14/19" and all they showed was a portion of the upper blower case. The blower case could be seen but the surrounding perimeter underhood area had been darkened or shadowed so you could only see what Ford wanted you to see. I ran the photo through photoshop and was able to uncover what they were hiding. Not only can you see the ball end or pivot/anchor point and gas strut (or shock) to hold the SMC hood up but you can see that Ford relocated the coolant tank that everyone is so fond of.:) My understanding of the hood strut is that it was not part of the program initially and was a late addition just like the hood pins may have been. [ATTACH=full]1545910[/ATTACH] Still digging for the details that the lamestream automotive media has no clue about. [/QUOTE]
