well...this is only 1 layer of fiberglass. progress is halted right now due to needing funds elsewhere. but this is where i am now. I need to figgure out what to do for my center piece...i might biberglass a strip of cloth and then cut it to shape and then fiberglass it to the scoop or something. but now i can just lay it on the hood and add a couple more layers when i can and pull it off when its hard and work on it from there. its a mold from my existing metal scoop.

You are going to be building your whole hood? Thats cool, my bad no wonder I must have confused myself, anyway. Looks good so far man are you building for that green car that was on here a long time ago? Or was that someone else? ------------- Learning the trade one fiberglass creation at a time!

yea...that'd be the car, the green monarch. I'm doing the hood over again and will be redoing the entire body and paint again with a different type of paint and most likely using rage gold rather than bondo since i didnt really look into body fillers when i did it and figgured bondo was the stuff to use. i just ordered some new valve springs and teflon valve seals for the head so i can do up the head a bit, then i can turbo it...already got the turbo available to me...only be like 5-7 psi boost though. got a 302 thats waiting to be rebuilt later and then that'll go in...anyways, thanks for the comments, I'll be sure to post more pics when i get a bit farther, Lordco is having a good body filler sale right now, its like 23 bucks for a gallon of rage gold as apposed to the origional price of 41 bucks...$$ is a bit tight right now...trying to get a business established as well as customizing an LTD, so once things start going then I'll be able to quicken the pace on my projects.
