I talked to Glasstek about a hood for my 1980, not gonna happen, not enough interest. Your project is pretty involved from this view, but way cool. Them side markers look early seventies chev-gmc truckish....?

Finally blocked the top two more times and worked on the transitions from the stock hood to the scoop panels and sprayed last hi build.

Flipped it over and scraped,wire wheeled, sanded, and cleaned the bottom. I put a light coat of paintable undercoat for some texture, color and a med wet coat of clear.

My shop phone is black to show the contrast to my argent/gunmetal gray. I am quite happy with the look and am getting excited to get the car in color.

Glad to see you kept the transverse torsion bars. Overall, impressive build

Been thinking about the hood and it needs an engine callout, but I already drilled my fenders for 383 badges so....

I made my own fender badges to use the holes because I don't want to weld and bodywork the fenders any more.

Really just an excuse to do something different, I cut out a new name plate and added the angled return for strength and support.

Cast them in pewter, cleaned them up and sanded them flat and clean.

Painted the back shadow black, and cleared them, all they need is some double sided emblem tape.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone on here make their own emblems. Very cool! thumbs

Update, I took a week off to get the car blocked for the final time, built my make shift spray booth and got color on the car.
I still need to shoot the two tone on the hood and fender tops but that will be probably Sunday.

Here are a couple pics of it so far.

Some color shots.

This is Nason, Ful-Thane SS. Sprayed with a Devilbiss finish line with a 1.5 fluid tip, around 18psi

I did get a couple runs on edges and a couple of sags or hangars. I won't post those pics though. blush

Thanks Guys.

I was able to get the two-tone done today.

I am really happy with the results and the color is exactly what I was going for, it will have good contrast to black accent pieces.
