Purchased a 41 Chevy coupe project not long ago. Came with a fibergl*** hood that is just a shell and a steel hood that is a basket case (in my opinion). What I have ahead of me is, transferring the cross bracing and hinge mounts from the steel hood to the fibergl*** hood. These parts will have to be cut away from the steel hood. My question is. How to attach these steel parts to the under-side of the fibergl*** hood? Any advice, pics, product recomendations will all be welcome.
That is where the hood came from. I also have a receipt from you for the gl***. Nice work, thanks. I talked to those guys and they were not too helpfull. I asked them basically what I posted and they confirmed what I thought, but didn't off up any real "how to" advice. I didn't push it.
We used this book to teach the sort of thing you want to do Fibergl*** and Other Composite Materials: A Guide to High Performance Non-Metallic Materials for Automotive Racing and Marine Use http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/imageviewer.asp?ean=9781557884985&imId=12261610
I would like to bring this back to life. I think I have the process of mounting the hardware the inside of the hood using fibergl*** matt. Any other ideas would still be welcome. Now, getting it located exactly where it should be is a problem. Short of pulling the motor and getting inside, any ideas. I suppose a very small person could hold a flashlight and mark it, but not too realistic. Thanks,
