More progress... good times. Started building a fiberglass hood for the Torino way back. Had a plan of fiberglass hood and making it a cowl hood for space for the intake I was going to build. When I had the car on the ground to get an idea where I was at I laid the hood and cowl on it to check it out.
It just looked wrong.
So back to thinking about what to do....
Checked into just buying a stock flat fiberglass hood. The truck shipping to Canada was insane so I had to make it myself. I can't justify buying a hood that's going to get modified anyway... might as well make my own exactly how I want it.
I did have a stock steel hood that I split the inner from the outer to use as my molds. Just grind off the pinch weld, clean it up and lay down the gel and glass.
So as I got started on the hood my engine details changed. I picked up a brand new M122 Eaton supercharger and intercooler off ebay . Of coarse I will have to build an intake for it and the hood will need a raised area to clear the intercooler but it only needs to be raised a little over an inch.
