Since I am a welder and a fabricator... I am going to give this a shot... I am going to do something different and we shall see if it passes my wuality control...

I am thinking a different looking and different way of mounting it... I will leave the rest as a surprise and guys can compare my hood to yours.. Cheers for the idea! Good luck on the build man!

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

heres my question, how did you seperate the top sheet metal from the structure of the hood when you made your cowl?... im attempting to make one too, I found a hood on the side of the road lol

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

i just cut down the lines and made sure not to cut the supports under it and i just picked up the back and popped the glue off the supports
