Anyone have advice on how to make a fiberglass hood ??
It is for a 1965 Ford F-100, will fit 1961 to 1966 as well.
I am in a truck club and I know a lot of folks would be interested.
Any other material that could be used ??
TIA.
Ricky.

I'm sure youtube has tons of info, but here are a couple of links from a company that sells casting and molding supplies:
http://www.smooth-on.com/gallery.php?galleryid=441 and
http://www.smooth-on.com/gallery.php?galleryid=448. The first shows how to make a vacuum bag and the second how to make a tool and then a vacuum bag and then make a carbon fiber wing. I've bought polyurethane resin supplies from smoothon and am a happy customer.
