Rally Car Hood v2.0
by brian @ 22:11:33 - [perma-link]The hood is almost done. I mounted it on the car and drilled holes
for the hood pins. I still need to remove the top-plates and cotter
keys from the old hood and put them over these pins, but I had to see
how the new paint looks on the car. I like how the stripes turned
out, but the semi-gloss black really brings out the dents and creases
in the hood. Its far from perfect, but is good enough for rally. :) After installing the hood, I twisted the louvers into place, and put
door-edge trim on a few of them. It gives it a more finished look,
and makes it way less dangerous than the jagged metal edges. The
louvers on the passenger side have no trim and almost disappear when
viewed from the front. I don't know which way I prefer just yet. I
just hope they solve the overheating problems. That's the most
important thing.
