Coming along nicely.
Looks like a lot of work is going into that hood. I often wondered how long lasting some of those old 'glass parts really are. I have yet to see a T/A with the hood not buckled up next to the fenders. Seems like that would be a hard location to repair.

I had my T/A hood on since 1980, and have used the springs on it since then......hood still looks great!.....nice and straight

Thanks guys!
Dayclona, you ARE among the fortunate few! I've never seen a T/A hood that didn't bow a little at the springs! If I take my springs off it'll lay flat in a few days...
Right now, as seen be the pics, we're just fixing a number of stress cracks, pits and other little flaws. The resin overlay didn't fill like we'd hoped so we have to grind it down past the crack then build the material back up with resin and webbing.
The guy's doing a good job. He's just slowwwwww...
