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.

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 :P;):lol:

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

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!
