Hi Paul, no question is dumbšŸ˜ I plan on painting both front and rear hoods red same as the body. Iā€™m only doing the hoods in carbon to Keep the weight down, for the pneumatic lift arms ,ultimately I would like to do the whole car in carbon fibre !! But realistically Iā€™ll be doing the Rest of the panels going forward out of fiberglass.

Hi Ted
Thanks for the positive comments,I always appreciate your thoughts.
I keep making the posts on technics Iā€™m using for the build ,I just hope that people arenā€™t getting overloaded with information or for some board and would rather just see the parts already Finished and installed.

Stay safe everyone
Wayne

Not getting overloaded here. Some is beyond my understanding, but that just makes those parts useful in the future when I read them again and finally get it. It's ike missing things in a movie or a book the first time through. I was still getting parts of The Godfather II recently that didn't jibe before.

Thank you for the thread.

Thanks for the reply Sourmash , I'll keep the build going!!

So i'll post a bit on the fuel filler for the benefit of RCR (BOB) I originally used the Fiero fuel lid and fuel pot. I cut the filler pipes and installed a fuel safe rubber extension with a couple of stainless steel T-Bolt clamps. I installed it on the 308 kit much like your kit BOB.

RCR if you want these pieces for your build your more than welcome to have them , PM me with your address.
Also Don O. Is going to take a bunch of pics of his setup for you as well.











I've now gone in a different direction with the GTO build with the dual fuel doors (only one is actually for fuel ) the other will be for something, just not sure yet.



Now back to the build on the hood...
I made up some plates the I welded nuts too, then drilled a bunch of holes into the plate to allow the epoxy resin to flow all around. The epoxy will solidify the entire area giving rigidity over a wider area for the hood hinges.





Clay dams to keep the epoxy slurry in the hinge area






Some of you may notice the red flow media is still on the part, OK I screwed up I forgot to put peel ply down first . Luckly it is inside and will not effect anything.
Thanks for coming by
Stay safe
Wayne
