Doc, Thanks for the advice, much apriciated.

One more question for you, if I remove the zdus fasteners and put a fresh layer of fiberglass on the underside, can I just fill the holes where the fasteners were on the top of the hood with fiberglass filler? And with the tubing for bracing, should I weld the center support to the side tubes or just glass them in, would it add anything to weld it, making one peice?

Also I read about using foam pipe insulation cut in half and glassing it to the underside. Would the metal be a better option or would that work also?

Thanks for everything, time for some fun!!!!
