Mj-Styro Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) attempting to restore a glue bomb.....Picked this up off Irivin. (Arterrake).............. The hood was pretty glued in, and it looks like some one pulled the firewall out and part of everything else with it....... Edited April 7, 2009 by Mj-Styro
Mj-Styro Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) After taking the dremel to the hood with a cut off wheel i got it removed as well as the old cowl......... Donor car was the '66 buick Dirt stocker........ (part of the front clip and hood) but he had a stock resin hood so i grabbed it..... Edited April 5, 2009 by Mj-Styro
