sanding block and sandpaper?? that'll take forever!! there is a 1/2" lip that needs to come off i was thinking of using an angle grinder with a sanding wheel.
I measured how much of a lip the stock hood had then made a line on the new hood. Then took a cutoff wheel with the right cutting disc to get the majority of the material off.
