Extra Fiberglass + Extra Hood =

Hoodscoop!






Finishing touches coming soon!

 

oh come on...you know you love it

 

I duno, my engine hasn't cracked when I drove through puddles....

Or when it snows and slush hits the engine...it doesn't crack...

The engine bay is far from waterproof as it is...I can't see how that would be true...

 

best way to learn is to practice!!

this is pretty much my first time workin with the stuff.... that only has one sheet of fiberglass per side, soaked in the resin, then applied to the hood and smoothed out the best i could, then sanded, next is the grille thats goin in (which will match the front grille on the car), then bondo and sand it all smooth!

 

Yeah I think most of the shaping will be done with bondo.... I'll work on it a bit more today but I still have holes to patch in my car...so I don't want to waste all my bondo on my hood scoop lol

 

If the rest of the car wasn't falling apart I'd use some sheet metal and a mig welder....but ....It's almost not worth all that work since I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before the car falls apart, lol

 

Ah I only did it because I had an extra hood to mangle, and some fiberglass....this shit is extra strong matting though, but I can see it cracking if heated too much...I duno if I'm gonna waste more fiberglass on it tho..I might just smooth it out from here and paint it just for shits.

 

Here it is on the car...

 

yeah it didn't turn out too crooked for not even measuring it eh??
