doesnt look that good, but on the plus side is was like $23 and some time (alot because i ****ed it up so much) but one i figured out how to do it it was like 5-6 hours. Shoulda been 8-9 but i dont have patcience for bondo or sanding

but it doesnt look that bad. its homemade. i cant imagine how hard it must be to make something from multiple pieces of metal look like one stamped piece of steel. remember those hoods are just stamped from a mold. it really doesnt look that bad. i think it looks cool.
nice, dont get pissed cause it didnt come out the way you wanted. then you get discouraged.

I know the feeling. I constantly feel like I am walking a line between redneck, and just cool frickin beans. So when I'm not happy with something I have to redo it.

You have me beat hands down man. I know how it is to be hard on yourself, but Damn man you do good work.. Keep it flowing I need the ideas
