Making a Cowl Hood for my Ex :D

[FIND]

That stripe really adds a lot to the hood, nice work!

Thanks guys

I dont know about "producing" these as it takes 2 hoods to make one, but my brother is excited about the way this turned out and wants to do more of them.. I wouldnt mind doing a few of these made to order but - the issue is; I did the metal work in FL and my brother did the bodywork in PA lol. This would be a freekin expensive hood! The reason I put this thread together though was to show people how I did it, so if you know someone who can weld, paint, do body work and have some time on your hands, you can make one like this too! or different to suit your standards.

Im very happy with how it turned out and am glad to hear all the possitive comments about it! I will have pics of it on the truck shortly.

Thanks alot guys. I appreciate the comments!

My brother has been wet sanding and buffing this all day. Its shiney as all get out. Its gonna make the rest of the truck look like crap lol.

That is an awesome idea cutting it out of another ex and curving it down. Awesome fit and finish. I'm with everyone else and can't wait to see it on the truck.

Thanks for the comment! I was thinkin about the Camaro hoods after it was done but I didnt have anything in mind when we were putting it together. Just a gradually increasing lift to 2". I am very happy with the way it turned out
