Thanks for the kind words guys. I trimmed yesterday, and the fitment is great. But now, I'm trying to figure out how to hinge it. I posted a thread regarding this, so if you have pictures please post them up. thanks..

have you thought about making a build up of material where the stock hood hinges are? after you have the build up your could drill and tap something in there

or another option is making it a four post pin on hood and deleting your hood hinges to save more weight

cut the inner support from the oem hood where the hinges bolt on. insert bolts to keep the fiberglass from filling the bolt holes, then wax the threads for easy cleanup. glass those sections into the new hood where they belong, bolts back in like factory. hood pins in the front for simplicity.

I really apologize for not posting any updates. The hood has been ready for 2 months or so. It, however, needs to be clear coated, which I'm workin' so hard to get to. I had an accident 2 months ago, and been workin on restoring the car instead.








and that's how it stands at the moment:


This was also my first attempt at bodywork and paint

O wow. That sucks. My neighbor backed into my 400 about 1 hour ago. Rear quarter panel will need to be fixed/replaced.



Good luck with your car. Post pictures with the progress. Thats awesome your doing your own work!!
