Awesome work on this and look forward to seeing your car progress thru to completion. Ready this whole thread start to finish and it's another great thread.
Had to do some work to the hood. Its a typical fiberglass hood that doesnt fit right. The middle of the hood stuck up above the fenders about 1/2".
I stripped the paint down to fiberglass then cut a line so I could reshape the edge to the contour of the fenders. Did this to both sides.
Then I made a jig thats the exact shape of the fender top and screwed it onto the edges holding it in place while I put several layers of glass matte and woven matte to keep the shape.
Primed/blocked/painted orange and masked for the stripe.
Painted the stripe/ scuffed then cleared 3 coats, wetsanding up next
Poor car has to sit outside while i work on the hood and paint the spoiler.
Your work is the kind that inspires! Speaking of inspiration... I saw a motion clone at a krusin classics car show this weekend! It was a 78-81 car...red with black stripes. Even though it was a later 2nd gen, it still looked great!
