has any one here ever used a fiber glass cowl on a steel hood here before beacouse i bought a glass cowl for my lemans beacouse no one makes a compleat hood for it like my camaro so how would i mount the hood please help i work in a body shop so i no what im doing i just have never had to put a glass cowl on a steel hood

 

I did the same thing but with a glass scoop. What i did was i applied two part adhesive to the edges then i pop riveted it to the hood. I then allowed the two part to dry then applied that two part blue filler stuff forgot the name but its made by 3M. Then i applied a thin layer of marglass you could use kittyhair(fiberglass filler) instead. And any fine detail was done with good old Bondo Gold. It looked great for two years never cracked or anything tell i took it to a shop here and they slammed the hood when it was around ten degrees out.

They have a few that have done it around here. Every one has cracked, probly because they dident do it right tho.

 

3M has a new panal bonding glue. I think its 3115. Not sure its a 2 part tube.U can bond metal to metal,metal to glass, Pretty much anything. And the good thing is that bondo will stick to it.So you do not have to worry about it cracking were older glues would meet with your filler. Not sure how long over time will last. But that glue would be the way to go

 

Yeah your right. now that i think about it it was 3115 but i swear it was twopart.

 

yep 3115 is 2 part. It a 2 to 1 mix so one side of the tube is bigger

 

yea i know what your talking about i use it at work all the time but for puting the hood on should i put it on from the top or cut and put it in from the bottom

 

I don't think it would matter, But putting on top i would think would be the easiest way.. It would suck if you close the hood to hard and it craked from the weight. I think on top would be best
