I know there have been some questions about doing this in the past.....

Not being willing to pay for a new hood and not being crazy about the cowl size of the aftermarket stuff I found, I decided to make my own. After much procrastination I finially decided to start on my hood this weekend. My last attempt yeilded a warped mess which I was not able to correct without alot of filler. This time I got some .023 MIG wire and took my time. It turned out much better and had no warpage at all.

Here is a pick of the inserts and rear graft. I could only go about 4 1/2 inches without destorting the center rib.

No problem. You can go ahead and forward me the first $10K Monday morning. The second half will be due on delivery in late July.

Well actually it does have an overhang. If you look closely in the picks you will see a tan strip along the back of the cowl. This is a 2" piece from the rear of the hood that I cut and grafted from the first hood I butchered. Then I made tapered fillers for the sides. It made for a really subtle, yet nice touch...if I do say so myself.
