Gonna be sweet.

haha don't stop there keep piling the hoods up; like a totem pole! Paw Paw bears, lol.

Got a lot done today. Just a bit more touching up and then I need to get the panel adhesive.

Lined it all up and and screwed it down with 4 self tapping screws.


I was then able to mark everything off so I knew where to cut.


Scribed the lines so I knew where to cut.


Well, here'* your problem, there'* a great big hole in the hood.


More marking to do more cutting.


Got it all cut, now I need to clean it up.


All sanded.


Lots of screws. Need to do some filling to clean up the lines.





Would have been nice if the makers of the scoops actually got it straight. Guess I'll have to do a little trimming on this side. The other side lines up and it'* all centered.


A shot from under. This will all be cleaned up to look real good.

I realize you've made a lot of progress. Before you go too much further, I was wondering..are you worried about having removed the structure underneath and the hood bending in half when you try to close it?

I did not remove all of it, only what was in the way. I plan to add some more support using aluminum bar stock.

Diggin the work biggin... keep going... more pics... yay!!!!

Work it, dan!

I'm just wondering... won't those screw heads be a pain later? Are you planning to fill it in so much that you'll cover the heads?

The screws are there only to hold everything in place while I match the hole and to get it back in the correct place when I attach it with the epoxy. The screws will then be removed and the holes filled in.

Looking great Dan! Keep us posted on your progress....this is going to be awesome.

I was wondering how you were going to attach it to the hood. What are you going to do about those little dimple things on the front of the scoop?

p.*. what kind of sander are you using?

I'm using panel adhesive. The little dimples I'm not real happy with, but it'* just the way the scoops are. My plan is to build up a bead of epoxy and shape it to fit. I'm sure I'll be using several different sanders.
