I didnt use much of any really. Just kinda guessed. Basically I took two 20" sections out from either side of the center.

any more updates on that hood scoop/hood ???

jays68yak · 09-09-2011, 04:16 PM

Nope. Been busy during the week. And this whole getting dark earlier bs is starting to suck. It bad when you notice it getting darker a half hour earlier then it was last week. Im going to try to get the front grafted in this weekend.

heeroyue2002 · 09-09-2011, 04:42 PM

*project 67 sub* · 09-09-2011, 07:19 PM

Good luck. Keep me updated on your progress. Mine wont be done for awhile. I need the motor back in so that I can add more tricks to it.

*project 67 sub* · 09-10-2011, 01:48 PM

you will probably be done with yours before i even start mine

i would need to buy a spare hood, a mig welder, and since im going to school for truck driving, im gonna need some time as well, and somewhere to do it when i am not working, which will only be 4 days a month if im lucky, and plus i will be moving on top of all that...... will probably just rent a small shop/storage place to work on it and what not

laplander · 09-10-2011, 02:09 PM

Subscribed. I'm digging the hood treatment, I've never seen that approach taken...

jays68yak · 09-10-2011, 02:36 PM

I realized I didnt post these pictures.

jays68yak · 09-11-2011, 09:34 PM

Did a little work to the hood this weekend. I needed to blend in the front.
A little cutting and some bending

Filler pieces cut from parts that I had cut off. This way they had the same contour.

Still needs a little bit more welding and clean up.

VA72C10 · 09-11-2011, 09:44 PM

Looking good! Any shots from further away to see the overall look now or waiting till it's finished?

jays68yak · 09-11-2011, 09:55 PM

It's not on the truck, but on a cart so I can work on it. Next time ill push it out and get a few pics.

any more updates on this???

jays68yak · 09-21-2011, 01:25 AM

yes and no. I did get the hood all welded up, both front corners moved forward a bit, the back of the cowl trimmed, and it bolted back onto the truck.

Ive got some wood in the back holding the shape, I need to weld a piece in there to keep the shape. Then bring the center up a tad.

Ill be taking a small break from it as this weekend I need to prep my wheeler for a trip the following weekend to the rubicon. And got another parts truck to part out.

*project 67 sub* · 09-21-2011, 02:35 PM

any better side shots of the front of it where it slopes down in the front???
