Bond fiberglass to steel?

No turning back now

@Bitch'nBronco, is the white line I drew where the cut line is going to be? Trying to figure out how far toward the front the scoop is going to wind up. Anxious to see your finished product!

Randy,

Pretty much, I'm going to put a 2" tape line around the cowl and cut so I have a good sized flange to bond the cowl to the hood. I'm going to reuse the pieces I cut off to add structure to the cowl. As for how far forward, im not sure yet. Since the cowl is 4" tall at the back, I need to do some testing with opening the hood to see how far back I can go without hitting the windshield. I'm guessing it's going to start about 2" ahead of the factory hood bump.

More progress, im about as far as I can go without starting to glass stuff together. It's a rough draft but I think it's starting to shape up nicely. I love the view of the vent from inside the Bronco. Kind of wish the cowl was maybe an inch shorter but I don't feel like shortening it.

I like your Raptor influence. That's my daily as well and I used a Raptor Start button...I did have to design and 3d print a holder to make it work but your Raptor influence is a little more involved! Kudos on making it your own!

@ba123 that sounds pretty cool, they're great trucks for sure. I wanted to include a little of it in this hood. Excited to see how it turns out, and even more excited to stop making fiberglass dust lol.

Are you going to cover up a portion of the fresh air sections of the hood?
