Boy I wonder who will be helping on this project haha. We might want to raid y8s house for fiberglass!

 

ha yeah, well the cardboard model was a success. if I can build this, I can surely do it full scale :gay:

 

you guys can't even handle that.

 

oh em gee guys, i need validation.

 

Wanna make one for me while you're at it?

 

cover it in bondo, make it perfect, we'll pop a mold off that bitch and make 10 for the mt-ers

 

IN!! Figure out how much it'll be!

I even have a hail damage hood I can test fit it on

 

I validate that you had too much time on your hands last night!

 

one word: rapidprototype
I'd wear it.

 

that'd be a $600 rapid prototype part my friend. a guy could buy a hood already with hole for that kind of coin.

 

should be easy enough....here's all i gotta cut and bend:



after it's smooth and blended, it should look pretty good....expect something from me completed by new years.

 

Looks good scott.

 

great starting point, no doubt...
+1 Y8S, make a mold, this will help the overall strength and integrity of the final product compared to piecing it together and bondo-ing it...vevvy noice

 

yeah, guess I should have put one of these on the end: so you knew it was a joke

Looks like a good plan to me. I save some pics of CSR's DIY hood:

 

I just bought this hood

It's not really to my taste, but it's ready to go, it was cheap, and it looks like it's pretty functional.

If someone local wants to pass the torch on with my blue vented hood for what I got in it ($20), they can have at it.

 

Hmm, might be a cheap project to have fun with in my new garage (closing date Jan. 23).

 

I can't believe I missed that FS post...
Ben, if you ever decide that you don't like that hood, please let me know!

 

I really like the hood m2cupcar posted up, similar to FM's.

 

Not an extraction hood. Just saw this randomly and thought it looked cool.

 

caugh caugh...viper
