Figured I had better get one before posting this.and flaming is kool doubt I would have done this sobber.


I sat here bored yesterday and after dinner did a lil drinking and for some reason decided I did not like my hood so I started looking at after market hoods .hmm figured well hell if I am going to buy a new one why not redo mine and save money so this is what I came up with. Now keep in mind I made this in my home garage all I had to use was 1- 18"x22" piece of 16 gauge sheet metal a 3 lb hammer 1 pc 1 "steel pipe a pair of vice grips my rite hand snips and my little wire feed lincoln and some bond left over from doing a repair on a friends car.










will finish body work today and and since the hood and other parts of the car are being painted black prime the hood this weekend,thank god I work part time restoring historic cars or this could have been a mess .


PIC UPDATES FINISHED AND PRIMED





yes made it functional



rained on the way home and it surprised me no water under hood other the a few drops

updated pics at last post

 

Man, I like that hood! Good work on it too, and its custom so its even better!

 

you gonna make it functional lol

 

um not sure yet only real thing any of these will do is add extra air in the compartment so i dont know . mabey

 

good thing you got a new flame suit.

its ok, i dont mind it. I cant judge until its done

 

Thats no so bad. Way to do it yourself. Want to see pics when its all painted...

 

^^^^ agreed

 

Looks like it's coming along nicely. Good job so far man.

Can't wait to see pics of the finished product.

You can return the flame suit for a full refund because you are doing it right.
You didn't just 3M tape a scoop on.

 

that's a great idea! I commend your hard work, and original idea

 

very not bad man, make it functional though

 

ha thats neat, custom FTW

 

Thats funny thats what I said when I saw it this morning. VERY NOT BAD

 

if it was the stick on joint.. then you would need your suit. Thats a good job and it looks nice so far.. once you finish it should look TIIIIIIIGHT!!!!

 

paint that bitch...

it looks fine to me.

props for the custom work!

 

Looks strangely familiar.....



Looks awesome though! +invisirep for doing it yourself!

 

I'll give my opinion when it's finished.

 

I'll double this. It looks like the SS hood though.

 

you going to make it functional? nice for doing it youself

 

its looking nice. now lets see it painted.

 

Reserving comment till the finished product is shown.

 

Props for the custom-ness, but definately my cup of tea.

 

Paint and post pics. So far, it looks like you've done some good work. You should paint a stripe from the front of the hood up to the vent. That would look tight.

 

can't wait to see final product

 

I think even in primer would make it look awesome... lol. I am a fan of custom work and I can say for the price you paid... thats awesome work!

 

looks too much like the ss style hood you could have bought
