Hey guys, been a while so thought I'd show you a bit of an update on the hood I've been making and will hopefully get moulded in fibreglass next time I'm home

STAGE 1: Initial build up and fibreglass and filler

The nightmare of sanding this by hand :(

STAGE 3: Final fill and sand to get 2K sprayed - read for a fibreglass mould to be taken :D

This time I didn't do the work by hand.....its amazing how much easier the sanding goes with a big compressor and a orbital sander

Waiting in the background for the prep to be finished ;)

Wow, that looks awesome. Good job.

I like the pic with the car in the background without a bonnet. It would be cool to just drive around like that, until it rained :lol:

thanks guys :)

Dunc, yeah I like that pic looks cool with hood off.

Actually I work abroad now, meaning I live abroad and only get back to UK every other month at most. So those were all the pics I got as it finished. Spent the rest of the time under the bloody thing refreshing my suspension :)

The cowl hood looks really good, suits the car and adds mean....it´s a good addition. :thumbup:

BUT,

you don´t need cowl induction, your air comes in at the front.......unless.......

that´s the next modification still under wraps. :idea:

its to let the heat out, the LS1 always gets really hot standard.
