my first attempt at making a hood...very light, so far tested up to about 100 mph.

Damn thats ugly, but sure serves the purpose and can be painted

 

Nice job. Glad to see you used hood pins

 

No put some carbon fiber over it and save painting it. Nice job.


How did you do it???

 

Yeah, how did you do that? How'd you get the basic shape? I've got some experience in fiberglass. I'd like to try that this summer when I get bored.

 

nice job, what did you use to frame it up? Do you know how much it weighs??

 

he used the stock hood for the frame iv'e been thing of doing the same its not hard at all

 

You should also try the fenders

 

Did ya do it like this:

Put down some wax paper on your stock hood. Then place fiberglass sheet on it. Epox it up and add layers till desired thinkness.... Take it off once dryed. Flip hood over and do the same on the back then joing the two parts together with somemore fiberglass.

You should put a piece of carbon fiber on top instead of painting it that would look cool.


My budddy replecated a WW body kit like that. Fit like a glove

 

Looks good.....
How did you do it?

pretty much just like he said, except i didn't replicate he bottom. i just made the top skin, then flipped it over and made bracing out of aluminum. it's much lighter that way. no need to copy the underside.

 

gotta give u props on that
i'd suggest going with the carbon fiber too, or maybe even just painting it white like your car, for the sleeper type look.

 

Not bad for your first time. Where did you get the roll cage? Is it legal for NIRA? I'm trying to find one for myself but it's either too much or bolt on.

Try adding a couple more layers then using it for a mold to make more copies.
