Update! Been busy patching rust in the drip rails and replacing the panel behind the rear glass. That stuff really is no fun at all. I had to make some of that stuff from scratch. Everyone shaves drip rails, and now I think I know why. I probably had 30 hours into making and fitting the front corner on the driver's side drip rail so that the trim would fit over it perfectly.

Anyway, I started working on something a little more interesting, so here are some pictures. This was my first time playing with the English wheel, and I'm pretty happy I haven't had to make more than one hood scoop... at least so far. Still need to do some more hammering and grinding on it, but it is really starting to come around. Really wish I had big shrinker/stretcher. Making a bunch of cuts probably isn't the cleanest way of doing things.

The scoop is just a little bigger than stock, and will hopefully fit the engine I don't have yet The idea was to make something that looks vintage GT350ish and won't draw too much attention to itself.
