I was wondering since they don't make any fiberglass hoods for our cars and C/F costs an arm and a leg. Could it be possible to cut a giant hole in our current stock hoods and then slowly Bondo the giant hole?
What I mean is we cut a square hole inside the hood and then using overlays and other lightweight fabric slowly work our way to the middle to finish it off and then paint? Or is it just better to go C/F? |

it would be way easier to use your hood as a plug to make a mold
1. polish n wax the hood, using a special compound 2, glassfiber the hood 3, seperate the hood from the mold 4, as 1, but the mold 5, glassfiber or cf or whatver in the mold 6, seperate them and woila! as easy as 1,2,3  how to make a mold --------------------  |
