Does that get more support across the middle? or is 6 layers enough for not to sag?

How many of these "Molds" you got lying around?
I saw the fast back interior stuff.
and you were talking other hoods and stuff
 
Cut holes for clamping ,flipped it over and somewhat trimmed the flange . The hood just about fell out ! Came out perfect except for a couple of chips at the end of the scoops i will have to fix but i am very happy ! And the ram air chamber made it in today !
And the steel hood has not one speck of damage !

Repairing the chips around the scoops this morning ,they couldnt chip at the top where it would be no problem ,oh well ,it isnt much to fix at least . The mold release peeled out of the mold in a sheet leaving a nice shinny grey surface ,i will still block sand with 1000 ,up to 2000 them buff the surface

Other than a lot of block sanding this came out pretty easy ,except for a couple of dings and a couple of pits . I will sand them out today and get the final primer on it ,tomorrow a whole bunch of wet sanding and i am ready to make the under brace mold
