Here's the starting point.
Once the shell is in the correct position, we get some tape lines lining
up the body line to the shell. This will tell us where the body line at
the shell should be. |
|
Here we've cut the body
line from the hood top. |
|
At this point we can mark
where to cut the hood top (it is actually a pie cut with about 3/8" at
the front and nothing at the back). This helps "lighten" the front of
the hood top a bit. The stock hoodtops seem to look a little heavy at
the front |
|
Welding,
filing and sanding are complete, with the just the edges needing to be
finished. The underside of the hood gets finished the same way. |
|
The hood sides are now
fitted, and gapped. |
|
We now need to made a
stand for the rear hoodholders. Instead of just a flat plate coming off
of the frame, we'll make a little bracket using these pieces. |
|
Here's
the finished piece - fits the racier look of the entire car. |
|
Here it is on the car. |
|
Done with the hood. |
