Guest Gramps-xrds Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I looked through the parts box again and found a 63 ford comp hood w/ the hole in it and did some modifying and now I have a 62 hood that I think looks just like it. Take a little off here and add some there and this is what it came out like. I sprayed some lacquer on it so I can fine sand it.
62SS Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Nice job gramps, That looks like it'll work just fine. Ed

Ifn I ever gets my 'CBs Auto Body' dioramma dones, you can be my bodyman This that Ford your son did and you was re-doin a whiles back? Actually ######'n, this is one of the ones my neighbor gave me. This is a 62, the other was a 63. I gotta finish that one too
Eshaver Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Bill since a lot of the cars in Beckley looked like that in the day what with the piece meal chrome from the cinders the D O T would put down so you could get around the mountian, why not leave it as it is ? I think you're onto somthing extremely realistic from the era. EdShaver
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 If I can't find something to use as chrome I just may have to leave it that way.
george 53 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Well Bill, if ANYONE can bring them ol models back, I'm puttin my green on YOU! looks like a great save on that hood. I couldn't tell it wasn't the original hood, an it looks good to me! I know that the rest of it/them will turn out good! Keep on keepin on!!!
Tony T Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Good work, Bill...Nice to bring an old one back. I've heard that Alclad works good for chrome. I found it to be pricey, but the results may be worth it! Apparently, you airbrush it over gloss black to get chrome. It's real shiny too!
James Flowers Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Nice work on the hood . Looking forward to seeing more of this build . I also had to make a hood for a 62 Ford that I got off e-bay.
