It can be done with my hood [small body line] I will simply spray extra gell in the body line then sand the line off I will do this for an extra 50.00 the sand scratches will be finished to 180 grit

Is it just me that's confused or is everyone else as clueless as i am as to what the hell gary is talking about???

What do you mean by smooth hood?

cuz this hood look pretty smooth on both sides now.

What small body line is he refering to?

What the hell is this guy talking about when he say's he'll spray extra gell coat in the body line and then sand it off ?? HUH

Why spray it on in the first place if your just gonna sand it off.

gldevall · 08-16-2003, 05:42 PM

I want a cowl hood without the ridge down the center of it.

87 STEPPER · 08-16-2003, 06:04 PM

Oh!

Why didn't you just say that! j/k

I got my hood today!! It is SWEET!! Smooth as anything and straight as an arrow!! It is way more sturdy than I though it would be, which is a very good thing. I will get pics. tomorrow.

gldevall · 09-02-2003, 10:03 PM

That was quicker than you expected, right?

AirMale · 09-03-2003, 06:44 PM

Love to see some pics! Is there actuall 3 inches of extra clearance with that hood?

boataddict26 · 09-03-2003, 08:01 PM

Sorry, I didnt have time to get pics today, but will tomorrow for sure.
AirMale, Do you mean under the hood? If you do, then yes. There is probly alittle more than that. It says it is a 3 1/2 in hood.
