As most of you probably know by now I do a little fiberglassing. Here was my first project.

A 4" cowl Glasstek Hood I bought off ebay from FL and shipped to IL. Was still cheaper for me to ship it back due to not having to pay full price with sales tax.

Before (actual ebay seller's pics):

After laying more fiberglass, plastic filling, and spot puttying:

Now the hood is mounted on the car for fitment. It needs to be removed and paint matched waiting on the subwoofer box though cause I think I'm going to paintmatch the box too.

Now you know why I started doing fiberglass.

Thanks for the polite comment. I definitely try to learn things as I go. Sometimes it works great. Other times I manage to mangle or ruin things.
