polished Aluminum hood on 29 roadster

I just finished building this hood for Tony Vida’s 29 roadster today. Thought you guys might like to see it. Is probably going to get painted but I polished it anyway.<p>

 

That is poetry! Awesome job!

 

Too nice for paint. Just needs a leather strap over it now.

 

Wait till you see the rest of the car. Exhaust by Sellers, floors by Nacho. its sick.

 

I love It, I was going to get a hood and decklid chromed for my next coupe but I like polised aluminum better thanks for the Idea
Turned out great also.

 

i saw this in the flesh this morning.. simply stunning.. great work matt.

 

wow... that looks nice. impressive

 

now that's cool

 

Whoa!!!! Fricking awesome job, beautiful!!

 

Very nice, thanks!

 

Looks great. Got any more pics and details, especially that centre hinge set up?
Thanks
Michael

 

WOWSA! That sure is pretty. The whole car is ***s!

 

I love the polished hood, it would be a shame to paint it. Do you happen to have any pics of the build? I'm interested in how you rolled the edge and the hindge.

 

Wow that does look good, Id be worried about sun glare hough! But hell, with it looking so good Id drive it anywaY!!

 

the hindge is a .063 aluminum piano hindge from msc industrial supply. here are the only other pics I have of the wired edge, rolled with a dolly and hammer. and vice grips with duct tape over the jaws
<p>

 

That is beautiful. If it were mine it would stay polished to show off your work. I really like the row ow rivets holding the hinge. Spectactular.

It just don't get any better than that!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I appericate the information. I'm gonna have to try that edge treatment when I attempt to build a bomber style seat.

 

Nicely done!

 

A little different from the norm..................and that's good. Excellent build, thanks for sharing.

The Hood looks *****in , Great job

 

thanks, the floor/firewall you did is killer.

 

Great Job Matty!!!!!!!!!

 

Thats FRESH!!

 

very nice
how did you do the layout and the outside bends

 

Very cool. Nice roadster! I hope I get to check it out in person one day.

 

Looks great Matt! I'd vote for no paint on that as well. The bare metal looks really sweet with the black.

 

Add a couple more pics and some instructions and you might be in the running for the Tech week prize! Nice work on the hood, I will definitely be bookmarking this one for later use.

 

Looks great, Nice work!

 

Killer hood man! Just one word of advice... DRIVE AWAY FROM THE SUN!
