'72 Demon Project
The past week was all about the hood. It consisted of 50% body filler. It was pretty obvious that the car had a light crash once that affected the hood and driver side fender extension. I cut out all the rust and used fiberglass in most areas to reinforce everything before coating it with body filler.
Member whitepunkonnitro was so nice to sell me a extension for a fair price. Thank you for that. Its already painted and tomorrow I will adjust the connection between fender so its all even again.
The hood is pretty much done now with a brand new custom made Duster 340 Scoop I got for an amazing price on ebay. I made a triangle opening for the scoop, for which I will install a mesh later. I also applied the last coat on the hood this afternoon. So tomorrow it should be as good as new. I might have to add that this is the first time I am working on the body on such a level and I dont expect the outcome to be perfect, but I want to sit in the car knowing that I alone did it. either way, it will surely look better than before.
The other thing I got to finish today was to install the new hood pins. The old ones where rusted into the hood and I had to drill out the screws and cut the plate out along with the rust. I also used fiberglass to get it strong again in that area and then installed the new one on top of it.
Looks awesome and helps to adjust the level of the hood perfectly with the fenders. No more flapping around of the hood while driving anymore neither.
Last but not least I also got the new old Demon emblem from physixx. Thank you as well buddy!
