I decided im NOT making the fiberglass or carbon fiber hoods. I hate to say it, but too many people do the crying game when it comes time to pay. I cant tell you how many times it happens, people talk the talk, then when it comes time to produce the funds, there is always a story. So Ill make myself a hood, and maybe another one, but I dont want to deal with people nickle and diming me after I put a good 15-20 hours into the mold, then another 4-5 making the hood itself, or any bad feelings with members of the board. Besides, there are enough hoods out there for sale and everyone has a different opinion on what is "needed" on a new hood.

why dont you just secure the funds before starting production.

That's a good idea.

thats what i was going to mention.

Who is going to buy a hood without seeing pics of it? I dont know, I had a shitty day, someone who owed me money still hasnt paid me, seems like the same old story time after time. I guess what I will do is make my one hood, in steel, then if people want it, and I get a order for at least 3-5 of them, then I will produce it. It takes ALOT of work to make the underside of the hood work in fiberglass, thats why people who sell the skins only sell them for so cheap, and the way I build things in fiberglass, it will outlast the car itself.

Only 1? <_<

Make one in steel first, it will either be white or black https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Hmm, steel would be expensive to ship. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

We shall see, the rate things are going, this will be a winter project.

hey you could do aluminum. just melt a bunch of foil together.

Yeah, this has been a busy summer.

I'll make one out of cardboard for you and wrap it in aluminum foil. Ultra lightweight. :P

hey thats a good idea. how much would you charge for that? you know you could lose a little bit of weight if you just left out the foil. ^_^

The foil will protect it from the heat. If I can find my scissors I can add some vents.

vents would probably add too much extra cost. i would just need a good stock replacement hood. could you do tII??

Sure, I think I can do it with the foil.

can you quote me a price on that? i would need it to be red.

I'll have to think about it. I could probably fold it up in a box so that you don't have to pay alot ofr shipping.

you mean put it in a box or make it into one?

Making it into a box is a good idea. I could always send it to you as a kit. I'll send you a computer monitor box with both a roll of aluminum foil and scissors inside. That will help cut down on the costs alot. I can put some blueprints in the box as well.

could i just buy the prints? I could probably come up with a box and some scissors, and i know moms has got some foil in there.

Yeah. I just need to find some big sheets of paper and some crayons.

Hey i think we need to form a corporation to produce all of the awesome ideas that are invented in here in the forum. We could have the CB hood (instead of CF). And we could have the stick mod that iluvmy88cabrio and i invented a while back. heres the stick mod https://www.nopistons.com/forums/index.php?...40235e81f63ce04

Yeah, there's a sucker born every minute. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

i also have some other ideas that i have been waiting to market. ok theres the Canni-Ball which is a football made out of human flesh. see we would pay people that are about to die for their skin then when they die we would skin em. also there is pizza flavored ramen noodles. i had another one but its been a while so i cant remember it.

I actually have a good idea for a piece of exercise equipment, but I'll have to see if it would work first. If it works out then it may become very popular. Don't worry, it's none of that gay crap that come out with nowadays. It's for "real" lifters.

hey i got an idea to make wheels with a 1 inch exhuast tip in the center and when you press a button they shoot flames out the sides it could be dangerous though i think im going to go steal some wheels from a car and get to work on this idea

hey we can add that to the list of inventions
