Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread
Tack welded the hood's skin to the under side bracing then traced the outline of the cowl scoop where it will ultimately sit. I've been methodically working some curvature into the cowl scoop also. At this point it's a close enough match to the curveture of the hood to not present any issues when I weld it together. Next step is to make a sheet metal filler strip to close off the scoop ahead of the new opening so the air is channeled to the carb (red lines). I plan to tack weld it to the opening and then seal it to the scoop with a bead of seam sealer so the fit will have to be pretty good.
