Hello everyone,
it's a little discouraging that i'm part of a Mustang forum and never owned one. ever.
anyways, I am going to Iraq next spring for up to a year, minimum of 9 months. with training, minimum 11 months. anywho here is my Q:
I will buy the new '11 5.0(or '12 5.0 depending if there is a power increase worth the new model year premium). I want to get a 2000 Cobra R hood. I looked EVERYWHERE for weeks so far and no luck for the '11. by the time i return in Jan 2012 there'll be one out, but i was thinking of making one.
I'll but an ebay y2k R hood, any kind(87-93 ,94-98 or 99-04) and chop it out then chop the stock hood and custom mold it on. if its a job requring tons of man hours i'll do it to save $$$, but if its a simple 3-day fiberglass molding job, i'll keep my hands clean.
should i do it myself, or take it to a shop?
how much will it cost to make it on my own?
what chemicals will i need?
any websites thats sell the stuff for this job?
thanks a lot guys! i love stangs more then anything but i never had the chance to buy one. i have a year to save and learn=)
