I agree, the hoodline looks a little funny. Looked great on my car. Bodyshop should be able to get everything all good, I have seen far worse, but of course I wish it was perfect. I wish I could have been there to install it because I know of all the little quirks and how and why. I am interested to see how the rear and side fare up.

I dont know what else to tell you, take some time and always FULLY bolt it up when you fit it.



dont hold it in place and think its good because the side you hold might be good and unlike urethane

which will conform the side you aint holding is doing the opposite



I think I took Kevins on and off about a dozen times and STILL when I bolted it up for the last time I was not happy with it.

I know what I did wrong though and its an easy fix when I have to adjust his headlights for him.



my other advice is to prime it first with high build, block it, then re-prime with finishing primer, your going to need it to get

it straight and fill in all those voids and pinholes.

K I have a question for you, I have one of ur hoods, and no offense its total crap, I think it was one of the first ones you made. It came with a parts car I bought in Little Rock AR. The two peices have come unglued, what did you use to hold them together?

dltreezan 09-18-2007 02:12 PM

yeah something I made a few years back when I was trying to do two peices from a mold that was bent. I remember that hood. I got rid of that **** and don't make them anymore. Anyhow, you get some two part epoxy, some clips and join it back up the right way.

Cool, your new ones look really good. How much you getting for just the headlights now?
