gatorincebu Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Sam, That headache rack looks to be spot on ! I like it. What did you use for the screen? I know that there are several options available for that look. Be Well Gator Edited September 2, 2015 by gatorincebu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarsam326 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Brian- i thought about casting it, but the storage box at the bottom would pose a problem...i think, as well as the window mesh. But i would love to be able too.Gator- thanks, i used frying pan splash guards. I got them at walmart and just cut out the mesh as i need it.

Sam, I thought that might be what you used. i have some of that .I also have some other mesh I got from a craft outlet. have not used it as of yet. But there is enough on a roll to last forever and a day ! lol Either way what you used looks really good. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarsam326 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Just a small update, im starting to add the interior details, i gor my vent windows installed and the hood is painted in this pic, but right after taking the pic, i snapped another side hinge......again! While trying to reglue the hinge i also managed to leave a thumb print on the hood, cant win for loosin on this stinkin hood! Headache rack was assembled and the alclad was applied.......then the alclad started to crack in several places. After seeing the hood react the way it did today, i think i figured out why the alclad cracked, my base hadnt fully cured, oh well, heres a teaser pic till i can take some more later!

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 What I see looks great Sam! I thought that I was the only one that had those kind of days. While applying the first coat of paint to my 6v-71, it fell in the yard. Oops! Fuzzy Detroit! Tomorrow will be a better day. Keep up the good work....Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarsam326 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Ok, i need some opinions. I dont have another hood to give a comparison, but do you guys think i should stick with the flat black hood or should i go with a semi or even full gloss. Im partial to the flat because the front bumper is flat, but i would like to know your opinions. Keep in mind that the hood will be a little dirty! Thanks in advancr fellas!
