Custom Mike Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Pat, how did you do this to the underside of the hood? It looks like a kit part! Edited December 2, 2012 by Custom Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Pat, how did you do this to the underside of the hood? It looks like a kit part! Just some strips of styrene and covered the rough body work with embossing powder .I was trying to make it look like a fiberglass hood .

Custom Mike Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 It looks great, I'm gonna steal that trick for myself! If you paint the textured area Black or Gray, it would look perfect as the underhood insulation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
