building a hood (update)

[eldubb440]

came out good. i love those stripper wheels  in a 4 1/2" grinder, what do you use them in a right angle die grinder?............ it would be cool to chop the bulge off and weld it on a flat dart hood.

i use them in a die grinder.........and nobody is choopin off my bulge

Did you use a wire wheel to strip the top? It looks like it with the trail marks. I use that method frequently...dont have the patience for 80 grit and a DA.

paint stripper first then one of these 3m wheels. i use em all the time. they kick ass but they dont screw up the metal.

Do you have a part number on those?

Makes me wonder how my 70 Super Bee-R/t hood scoop would look on my 68 Dart. And man you do good work. Looks great.

  Eldubb   thanks    for   the   pics   ,  I   have   a   question    around    how  long  do  last   cleanning   the    humps  and   dips  and  valleys   of  the   under   hood   structure  ?   should   I    buy   a    hand  full  or   the   50  ct.  box    they  look   like  they  do  wonders  on    the  trunk   crumple  zones  and   door  jams  ,  Save  my  hands   from  looking  like   I  ran  em  over  a  cheese  grater ,

they last pretty long, and when they get small, you can use em in the tighter areas.......they run about 8 bucks a piece, just get a handfull. ive seen 10 packs, no need for 50. they can be bought individually already mounted to an arbour.

I had a 68 coronet 440 that I unwillingly HAD to junk  that had a beautiful power bulge hood, and the body on the car was really nice also.  Made me sick to scrap it, but I had very little choice, no one would buy it.
