Came out ok I guess. Unfortunately the paint cracked so the hood will need to be repainted. I still need to fold up the front edge. Should I get the sides of the openings sealed up? This was one of Scott's 1st ideas.

Scott, make which part a tag longer.
whaaaaa, that sounds like a good idea, but I have never worked with fiberglass, so I would have no idea what I would be doing.

I'd use body filler, you can get cans at advanced, mix the hardner, slap it on and shape, get it close then sand it the **** out of it.
look at my pic. you can see where you drew the line and i extended it a few inches.
