That's a tough fix but it could be modified at this point. Just saying

**Advanced Design** · 03-13-2016, 03:19 PM

Looks really cool!

flashed · 03-13-2016, 05:32 PM

Looks great .I like it .

Possmguts · 03-13-2016, 07:09 PM

Holes are cut... I'll clean them up and tack some screening behind all the way around the holes to help with strength.. but there is no flexing issue as I left some metal over and under the holes to start with.

jlsanborn · 03-13-2016, 07:56 PM

You're making lemonade there man. My first thoughts were... then I saw the rot... now I'm seeing a pretty cool, custom hood. Well done!

swamp rat · 03-13-2016, 11:21 PM

When you said help on adding radius's i thought you just meant radiusing the corners but the way you built that ridge around the opening looks pretty nice.

lower50's · 03-14-2016, 06:02 PM

I really like how your scoops turned out

mooseknuckles · 03-14-2016, 07:26 PM

nailed it!

Thanks.. what I ended up doing was using 3/8 round stock that i WAS going to weld on the underside and just radius the sides down, but got to thinking that would still be to dull and not finished looking... so on top it went and befor I kew it this is what was emerging.. I thinks its much more gooder

Thank you... wasnt as easy as I thought it was gonna be for sure.. 3 weekends I think so far and still not done. Plus I still have to patch up the leading edge of the hood to boot...

Thank you sir... everything your body guy made look so easy takes me at least twice as long to do. I would be further along if I was home more than just 2 days a week too though... I just chip away at it until I have something worthy of a paint job. I haven't even touched the bed yet... its in pretty good shape but still needs a lot of work. Front and floor needs replaced (I think I'm gonna do something a little different with the floor) and the sides need some love to save.

I wish you would hurry up and bail yours out of paint jail, cant wait to see it!

Possmguts · 03-25-2016, 10:09 PM

Home again this weekend and the only new part waiting on me was a front shock lol... I screwed up on the last parts order and only ordered one so I had to put in an order for the other shock.

Gearing up for another big money order in the next week or two, but until then for the next couple weekends Ill be just be finishing up on the hood and maybe Ill stick the bed on so I can figure out where to mount the gas tank and where the fuel fill is gonna go and so on and so on...

Possmguts · 03-26-2016, 05:50 PM

I think I figured out what I'm going to do with that awkward notch I was left with when I mounted the visor lower than its supposed to be. Gonna channel a couple lights into them... A couple pieces of 1 1/4" OD pipe and a couple 1" LED lights will work just fine..

aod92 · 03-28-2016, 09:21 AM

Hood looks killer. Can't wait to see it finished!

Possmguts · 03-30-2016, 09:00 PM

Didn't do much last weekend other than some sanding. I gotta get to the sheet metal shop to get a piece bent up for the front edge of the hood repairs, so i kicked her outside and did a "little" garage cleaning... meaning that i grabbed the blower and blew out a ton of dust

swamp rat · 03-30-2016, 09:55 PM

The blower is my favorite way to clean the garage LOL!

lower50's · 03-30-2016, 11:25 PM

Yes best shop cleaning tool. Also the smell of 2 stroke.

Possmguts · 04-02-2016, 10:30 PM

Got a good start on the front of the hood today. Had a sheet metal shop bend a piece up for me.

flashed · 04-02-2016, 11:08 PM

Looking good .

Possmguts · 04-08-2016, 09:32 PM

Not sure if the front center was pushed in a little bit or not and that when I patched the entire front I may have done it so that its still pushed in a little bit... and since the grille is tweeked as well, I really have nothing to go by until the new one gets here... so maybe Ill wait to see what it lines up like to a new grille before I go any further with the finish work... can any of you tell from the pic if it looks pushed in a wee bit?

Possmguts · 04-10-2016, 07:56 PM

Done!

**Advanced Design** · 04-10-2016, 10:14 PM

Looks good, very trick hood!

flashed · 04-10-2016, 10:31 PM

I love that hood ,turned out great .

Metaldoc · 04-10-2016, 10:38 PM

Nice repair and saved the hood.

lower50's · 04-11-2016, 07:55 AM

Very nice job. Even with the rib details around the openings.
