Peter:
Wow what a great project and as usual it looks great. Nothing like removing the heat from the engine compartment to extend the life of almost all components under the hood. Especially rubber and plastic parts.

FYI, with my high-speed fan override, I can blow leaves out of my vents (small dry leaves). During the hot summer months or on track days, I can see heatwaves coming from the vents if the car is sitting still.

Summer vent air temps (air coming out) easily break 200 degrees F.

I love the flush look but it looks like your fender may be getting scratched up in the second to last pic. I remember you were having problems with the hood checking. Will you be taking it to bare metal this time?

[WhiteArrow3800]

the fender really isn't scratched much at all, but i'll still run the polisher over it to make it look like glass again.

as for the checking, that was only in the center section, so all the stripping and filling I did there fixed that (on that side shown) other side was started today.

PICS...



you can see how nice and flush they will be in these pics.

Wow! i think that will look amazing once your done! How many hours have you put into it so far?

[GoldenBullet]

awesome! now paint it, slacker.

[harofreak00]

can you fill in that tiny crack to make them look seemless? that would be sweet!

I can, but in the northern climate like this, it would crack the first winter due to the plastic and the metal expanding and contracting at different rates

[harofreak00]

gonna have to make a new plastic hood!

[chopper442]

smooth and flush...nice. Nice to know I could still do this later...just don`t have the time, need or want yet to rpaint my hood! Looking great! Get shooting......

[redwingsfan34]

I'm gonna bring my hood over so you can do mine too

Actually, I think it looks better the way it is... that extra panel seam gives it the "factory" touch, like GM did it to start with.

Nice work Pete, I look forward to seeing the painted product.
