Alright i got a plan> for now im just gonna keep laying glass on the scoop until its thick enough, then cut ti out and bolt it straight to my hood so i can take the grand prix hood off my car. Im gonna fix the mold tomorrow and when i get more money ill be making the full thing, so hopefully by the end of the night ill have a hood that fits and some pictures for you guys.

I'm really not sure how much I like this....It looks cool and all...but, I just don't know...


I'll wait for the outcome. Hopefully, I'll be stickin my foot in my mouth by the end of it!

Love the fact that you're doing the whole thing by yourself! That makes the project about 1,000x more awesome right away!

OK the backup plan aint gonna work, because the breaks in the mold the fiberglass refuses to lay flat and keeps gettin bubbles. The mold didnt break very clean... it might still be salvageable but it honestly might be easier to just remake it. With the clay mockup gone thats gonna be a problem though... Anyways the project is on hold for now.
