so busy working on a few things for Zack ...
he asked me to install the hood skin I build .. and make it work .
some of you may know , we lost the underside of the actual mould in a fire about 12 years ago , and because of shipping costs .. (total cost delivered ~ $800.00 for the hood) I don't know to many people interested in an 800 dollar hood for there Toyota , so I never rebuilt the moulds .
anyway .. with the truck in my shop , I really wanted to satisfy his request .. I still don't know if it's going to work or not , but I'm gonna try
so started cutting the skin off
we'll see what happens .. as I told Zack , no promises on this part
Zack also wanted MAX protection , while we had it stripped , so floor completely scuffed , and ready for some POR 15 .
also , got the rears fit

Corey, I'm sure they cost you peanuts in materials and take no time to make but you should offer those door panel backings for sale! I certainly would prefer to have fiberglass over the MDF panel backings that I made. In fact, I made a PERFECT template of mine in CAD with all the holes in the exact locations for my 83 that you could print out and trace on to fiberglass for quick production. If you want it I can send you a PDF version of the template.

so , just to let you know , the original hood needed to be replaced anyway . Zach wanted our FRP hood skin , so I said I would try . I knew there were a lot of variables to make it work , but I thought I would try .
It could still be done , but because time is money , and this is how I make my living , I had to "call it" ... this typically is how a production mould is made .. lots of trial and error , major amounts of time , until you get a perfect piece . I don't have the "billable" time on this , and I told Zack , if it didn't work I wouldn't charge the time ... anyway
new hood
also , doors cured , time to install and trim the gaps
also .. taking extra step and prepped the underside of the hood , and got it seam sealed
