I made the hood skin using my steel hood and fiberglass ram air scoop as a mold. The underside of the hood will be made just like the top using the bottom of the steel hood as a mold, laying fiberglass over top of the bracing, etc.. Once I have the top and bottom pieces trimmed I'll epoxy them together with clamps.
Eventually I'd like to fiberglass most of the body panels on the car- including door skins, rear quarters, lower the side gfx about an inch, lower rear bumper cover 2" or so, etc. Not to get too far off topic tho..
The fiberglass hood and bumper will make it easier to mold in the headlights of your choice. Besides being itchy and having cancerous dust, fiberglass is a good choice vs. cutting up a perfectly good steel hood or trying to plastic weld on the factory front bumper cover.

86: input (signal wire)
85: ground
30: power
Those are the numbers that should be on the bottom of the relay where the prongs are. It is a universal relay...nothing special...any parts store should have it. There maybe some additional or letters after the numbers, but I'm sure you get the idea!
