I started getting ready to make my fiberglass hood. Thursday when I'm off I'll start wetsanding and polishing my stock hood..and hopefully within a week or two I can start with the glasswork. I'll lay up 2 or 3 layers. then pull it off and it'll make a perfect mold. Then I'll flip it over, build a wooden frame around it and then I can spray my gelcoat. Once that dries I can lay up 3 layers of what will become my new hood. Then I won't have to lift 300 pounds every time I want to check my oil!

At Mohawh freak: once you get started on a fiberglass project, you'll see it's kind of easy..it's the getting started part that's hard. you just have to make sure you mix your resin enough or it won't harden. Mix it with a stir stick and not you brush.. or you won't get a thorough mix and you'll have a mess. other than that there are no worries...if you mess up just cut that part off and do it again!
