I want to get your input on this GS hood scoop I've been working on. I used the same mold material that Jon use to make his 71 grill. I pulled the mold off a hood section from a damaged GS hood I purchased off of ebay. It is solid fiberglass so that the tip don't break off and a better way to attach it to the hood. The grill inserts are something I make real quick out of plexi glass. I am still thinking of other ways to make the inserts. So let me know what you think?
VFN Fiberglass lists 70-72 GS scoops on their website for $60. They don't have a picture, and I've never seen them, so I have no idea what they look like or how nice they are. Regarding your scoop.... I'm no bodyman by any means, but I think your scoop would be hard to attach and make look good. Especially the 2 "spears" in the front. Maybe they should be connected to each other (fill in the void between them) so you're attaching a "square" piece to the hood? Just a thought o No: It looks great though! That stuff looks like fun to work with. I'm talking myself out of buying the materials. Geeze, if I had that to play around with I'd never get anything else done. :laugh: :beer
What is the stuff your making the molds and pouring with? I need to make me up some missing grill pieces!!p
Right now I am working on the other side and I hope that I can use the factory grills. Also figure out a way to attach them to the hood. I was thinking of using 3M Panel Bond to adhere it to the hood, then use Duraglass to feather the edges. I will post some picture as soon as I can .
3M Panel adhesive is a good ideal but one of the 3M repesentives told me that due to the fact that the fiberglass and the adhesive will expand and contract it " isn't " a good ideal. You will see the outline in the finish once you get one of those hot 95 degree days. Cause metal doesn't expand and contract as fast! I recommend using good old fiberglass resin to bond it to the hood. Did one for a lady about 9 years ago and it is still holding strong with no cracks or lifting. Food for thought.
