Fiberglass hood separated and cracked. How to Fix?
Hey body shop guys. I'm wondering if this hood can be fixed. It was involved in an accident and the fiberglass has cracked in a few places and the two piece mold has separated along the edge. One of the hood supports of the underside is cracked pretty good(Picture 1). Will this kill the structural integrity of it or can it be fixed. Also on the top side of the hood it shows where it cracked on the top from that support cracking(Picture 2). Then last, the side is all separated showing the two pieces of the mold(Picture 3). Can this be fixed or would it be worth just buying a new hood ($700 hood)

Yes all glass can be fixed, to a point. It just depends on how much time you want to put in:D . You'll have to grind out all over the area that has cracked and lay cloth and re glass the area's. Then start the bodywork process with bondo, glaze.

if you dont feel like messing with all that resin ive had great luck using 3m fiberglass and smc repair. its a tube that has two parts and mixes like epoxy. it dries in 50 seconds and adheres very well to sanded fiberglass:thumbsup:
