as most of you probably know, I like building my own hoods for my cougars instead of buying them. It started with the Fox Cougar hoods and now I decided to try my touch on an MN12 hood.
Here as some pics of the progress so far.

This time I decided to try making it a functional scoop and just cut the hood and raised the center, instead of grafting on a whole nother chunk of sheet metal, on top of the stock hood. This hood has also proven to be the strongest I have made so far, (no doubt due to welding the sides, rather then rivets, and fiberglass. :dunce: ) The wind knocked it over onto the cowl, on a concrete floor without any damage. :grinno:
So, opinion time. What do you guys think? Any other ideas?
Spread some bondo and ur all set! :)
I'd have to see how it looked painted, but looks OK so far.
looks spiffy. ^_^ wish i knew how to weld.
Welding isn't hard, just need a welder to practice on first. Wish I could afford one :disappoin
Weld like the factory did (well, kinda).....
