New member here but I just finished a project that I`m really proud of so I wanted to share it. I`m a major DIY`er making a lot of the custom parts for my car and this time I wanted a custom fiberglass hood but instead of using a bunch of bondo and panel adhesive I chose to make a mold and mold my own fiberglass hood, the top side and the under side. Here are a few pics I took along the way. This is my first attempt at anything like this and it came out great.. Gotta LOVE YouTube!
The two orange parts are the actual molds I made. One for the top of the hood the other for the underside.
The two white parts are the actual hood pieces right out of the molds. These get trimmed then glued together then painted.
Since I`ve never painted before I relied on a buddy of mine to help me through the process but as of about 2 hours ago we just finished painting the hood for good and being black it came out perfect! Now I wait two weeks then sand/polish it..
This entire process from starting to make the molds to painting the hood today took 10 weeks.
