Your doing a great job. It will take longer but that's ok because you know that it is right. That's why it took me longer that what I thought because the more I dug the more things that needed addressed it seemed. It's a hobby not a race to get done anyways. I still have not got my hood on yet because I have had a change of mind. I'm going get it painted the satin/flat/matte black (whatever they call it) pretty soon I hope. It will match the 70 AAR Cuda theme and I think it will look good. Talked to the painter today and said that he can't wait to paint it and see it on the car. Nether can I! LOL!
In the pic stimpy just visualize the hood being black. The inserts I will have re chromed one day but the fish is brand new. I think the matte black will make it "pop"!
