Fiberglass cowl induction bonding

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

I want to add a cowl hood to my truck to my 83 C10 stepside.

Obviously one option is to just buy a bolt on hood, but the down side is limited options. By no means a bad outcome.

Options two is to make my own cowl hood from a generic fiberglass scoop, and my steel hood. Obviously a good outcome for putting my stamp on the build. The down side is I have to do the work with questionable quality by using a scoop that may not conform to my hoods curvature.

Is it better to use a bolt on scoop or a bond on version.

How hard is it for a person with basic body working skills. Like I could fill a pamphlet with my body shop knowledge as long as I get to use a bunch of pictures type of skill set here.

I am not afraid of failure, and hell. A scoop is less then a $100, and what will I be in it total for? $250 maybe including buying paint for the hood. As I am trying to expand my skill sets, and learn patience.
