Well, it's in primer and am fixing a little on the nose that I knew needed it. I just couldn't see it with all of the surrounding bondo. It looks a bit better now.

So then,......How much Bondo was slathered on the hood in total?Well, it's in primer and am fixing a little on the nose that I knew needed it. I just couldn't see it with all of the surrounding bondo. It looks a bit better now.
I used right at 3/4gl. I probably sanded about 1/3 of that amount off straightening it. So, a solid 1/2gl left on the hood.So then,......How much Bondo was slathered on the hood in total?
For the folks that don't know how much has to be put on in order to leave a smooth surface vs how much comes back off when it's all said and done.

About six or seven pounds! I want to get some hydraulic shocks for the hood to get rid of the prop rod. Guess i'll need the heavy duty ones, huh?What is a 1/2 gal in weight? Will you need two hood props?
I have some I'll send you....do you want them? New,...only installed once on a Fairmont hood that has had all of the internal bracing cut away?About six or seven pounds! I want to get some hydraulic shocks for the hood to get rid of the prop rod. Guess i'll need the heavy duty ones, huh?
Sure, are they pretty simple to install?I have some I'll send you....do you want them? New,...only installed once on a Fairmont hood that has had all of the internal bracing cut away?
They are bolt on,....be advised,....they are the kind that have a lift strut that mounts to a bracket that is bolted under the hinge mounting surface. (between the hood, and the hinge)Sure, are they pretty simple to install?
I'll take them. How much you wanting mike?They are bolt on,....be advised,....they are the kind that have a lift strut that mounts to a bracket that is bolted under the hinge mounting surface. (between the hood, and the hinge)
Maybe it's on top, don't remember......
They push the hood up like mad at the rear. That may be "adjustable", and with some tinkering w/ that, you may be able to eliminate that push, but for me, they pushed the monsters hood up and required soo much effort to overcome the lift force I knew that I'd fck something up with the bodywork on my flimsy assed structureless hood.
This is what they look like:
How does "nothing" sound?I'll take them.?How much you wanting mike
With the bonus weight i've recently applied to my hood, strong shocks won't really be a bad thing.
He will take two, but I'd double that price.How does "nothing" sound?
Works most excellent for me!How does "nothing" sound?
Ok, i know this is just another picture of a grey hood. I blocked it with 220 and it's turned out better than i might have expected it to. It's just straight as can be.
What's next? Tomorrow i'll flip it over and sand down all of those marks from the hammer hitting it and reseam seal it. Then, sometime next week, block it one last time with 320 and i'll shoot it at last! Geez! That was easy.....
BTW, anyone know where to get an emissions sticker? I removed the old one obviously.
Used to get factory stickers for the old stangs from scott drake, but that was long ago and far away,Ok, i know this is just another picture of a grey hood. I blocked it with 220 and it's turned out better than i might have expected it to. It's just straight as can be.
