I was wondering since they don't make any fiberglass hoods for our cars and C/F costs an arm and a leg. Could it be possible to cut a giant hole in our current stock hoods and then slowly Bondo the giant hole?
What I mean is we cut a square hole inside the hood and then using overlays and other lightweight fabric slowly work our way to the middle to finish it off and then paint? Or is it just better to go C/F? |

They do make fiberglass hood for our cars, but I've only seen them available in Japan.
