New hood scratch build.

[D.Pack]

Hi all.

The image, the hood is from an ASA Fel-Pro T-Bird.

If possible how would I make a replica? A cast of it perhaps?

I have an old built ASA Zerex T-Bird without a hood. Lost in time somewhere.

It's a tricky shape,centre ridge and with a slight lip at top edge.

'Twere it me, I'd make a fiberglass mold, and make a very thin repop from glass in that.

But since, far as I know, I'm 'bout the only person doing that, it's probably not much help to you...and most people just don't have access to the materials I use.

Have been researching more on this.

Viewing more videos and the cost of moulding supplies here in UK, not so expensive. 

I assumed costs would be sky high. Unless I make many mistakes.

Will consider this, learn more on similar mouldings like this flat and thin hood.
