Ive added 1 pint of resin, so about 1 pound, plus a couple coats of paint, so call it 2 pounds, I think pushin retainers should have no problem holding it in, I think there are 11 of them so an added 2-3 ounces per clip should be ok
workin on the hood liner

No Im not worried about the heat, the layers are thin enough that it still has some flex to it, so I think it will will still function well, and I'll get a pic for you when I go out to install it...........
the f'n clear coat ruined the finish on the whole friggin thing, so I just had to sand it all down again, the clear actually damaged the resin , Im f'n pissed, I dont know why it did this, so I just had to sand it all down again and start the paint all over:argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: , well there goes my day

yeah, I know how you feel. Thanks to you I took mine off and started on it
. Now I'm hanging around watching paint dry:rock: :rock: :rock: and I don't have no dope.
Course I gave that up some time ago but a big War Club woulda sure been perfect for this job
I soaked the back of mine in spar urethane and started painting the front with high temp flat black....no sanding for me, so it's drying and I'm waiting to paint the letters. Fixed the under hood light while I have it off......cake.
So thanks for the motivation and the tips....good luck with the letters (again)

Starting to get some inspiration to do mine.... I just got to find the time now....
I am in the process of having a four piece (to facilitate transporting) inside cover designed. The concept would be four panels that attach to the inside of the hood and provide a surface that covers all of the structural supports, etc.
We are exploring two approaches:
1. CNC designs cut into the cover to order.
2. Powder-coated surfaces suitable for painting by your local artist.
If we come up with something practical, I will put the project in Tony's hands for his management...

That would be awesome...got mine done with the "do it yurself" approach...barely liveable. Keep us posted please. I would like to fantasize that it would be less than $900, like the stainless ones, but I have my doubts. Custom=$$$$$
I also thought about ordering an OEM one and just fiberglassing it, then getting it custom painted....like your idea much better!!Thanks Prof!!!!

They should be made like a Parabolic mirror so hot dogs can be cooked with them when the hood is openProf said:
