Just dropping off an update. Yesterday we prepped the hood for molding and then today we started the mold.

We first put on a few coats of gel coat which mimics the shape and detail of the hood, and then we applied several layers of fiberglass to back the gel goat, and give it strength and make it rigid. All this will assure a great product

The second picture shows the hood with only 2 layers of fiberglass, thats why it looks so thin. After that 4 more layers were applied.
