the best way to make a 2.5'' cowl hood

[davey2451]

i was thinkin of makeing a 2.5'' cowle induction hood for my 94 x and i was wondering what would be the best way to fab one up, should i use all fiberglass,whitch i never used before, or should i use sheet metal and then bondo it all up nice and strait , and i've have done alot of steel work before, and i guess im jusst wondering if any one has ever done this before, or beter yet does anyone have pics of them building one?

Y not just buy one of them hood scoops off of ebay then rivet it on and fiberglass all over it all and smooth it out?

 

[JDraper]

Buy one of these from Summit Racing and glass it smooth (as suggested above.)

...easiest way to get a cowl hood:

Sell your Ford.

Buy a Camaro.

Done.

Be original.....do something different......Cowl hoods have NEVER looked good on much anything...even the cars they originally came on.

This is a reinforced fiberglass hood for the Explorer from Explorer Express.

I don't know if this is out of your price range, but it would be a lot easier to install and would save you a bunch of time.

Sorry, I guess it would help if it was for your year model.
