I made the side scoops today ,if i have enough materials left i will make the hood and an R model front valance this weekend
Nick helped me make an R model front valance and the hood top and under brace for the GT 350 style hood ,this is a very old mold and a little chipped but it still turns out a very nice hood . Tomorrow i will trim it all and bond the top and bottom together
Hood is bonded together ,trimmed ,drilled and threaded .just holding it up to the cowl it fits pretty well .
The R model front valance is also finished ,that is all the body panels now

I swear that yours are my most favorite ongoing threads on the internet. Your talents just amaze me.
Is the metal shown above in this underbrace for the hinges and hood latch alreaded "embedded" in the frame? Are they predrilled at all or is all drilling of the frame and metal done after bonding the top on it?

I
IT is for the hinges and latches ,it is embedded in two layers of mat on top of two layers of mat . They are drilled an threaded soon as the part is trimmed . Most hoods they pop rivet these plates in and after a while the rivets loosen and fall out or they used aluminum rivets and they rot away or break outI swear that yours are my most favorite ongoing threads on the internet.

I didnt drill the hood latch holes ,this one will be held down by stainless hood pins ,the latch assembly will not work with the R model valance . I also didnt cut out a few other holes because i wanted it a little smoother looking
Nick is sand blasting today ,seat frames ,9 inch rear end housing and some of the smaller pieces that will be black
Reason number 1000 ,why you do not throw old parts away ,i saved these old pony door panels just because they have the stainless trim . I have had them for many years
Dont you just love it when things fit together the way they are supposed to ?
