@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.

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.

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...

No turning back now

Thank you! Getting excited, once I trim the beak off of the mustang hood, it will sit flat.

Wowzers you weren't kidding, that is expensive. Do you know what the strength difference is between that and panel bond?

Any fox, im going to cut the center out of it. I think it's probably going to be an easy fit since the Fox hood is almost as flat as the Broncos. It just depends on what kind of cowl you want, they range from 2-6" and the construction varies. If they call it a lift off, it means it's going to be...

Picking up the fox body cowl tomorrow, I'm getting pretty excited to get started. I found one that was damaged from the hood pins being not fully latched and had a hole cut for nitros for $70. If you're interested in learning about fiberglass, this channel has a lot of good info

Thanks, I'm on board with doing it. I'll post progress pics once I get started. I'm excited about the project for sure. I've never worked with fiberglass before and am doing a bunch of research.

I'm thinking if I swap to hood pins and replace the latch with a rubber bumper that rests on the latch catch, it may help keep the hood from cracking from being shut. Always a gamble in the winter if my hood shocks are going to do their job or not lol

Thanks everyone, that's a lot to consider. I don't know that I want to risk it cracking, but it sounds like if I do the prep correctly I should be good. I also have a small rust area in my hood so I've got to strip part of the hood anyway to repair it.

Thanks, my daily is a Gen 2 Raptor and that vent lets a lot of heat out. If it snows, that's always the first part of the hood that melts the snow. I think it would help a lot on top of looking good lol.

I have an idea for a hood, I'm just having a hard time stomaching $500+ to ship a $5-600 hood. So I'm thinking about buying a cowl hood for a fox body, cutting the cowl out and shaping it to fit my Bronco. If I buy a new fiberglass hood, I'm going to wind up cutting it up anyway since I want...

Bump, I'd also be ok with a cowl hood, it doesn't have to be in perfect condition. Some damage is ok

Just thru the clamp, my boys are younger so I like that the clamp gives adjustability. I just installed them last week and plan to cut the bolt down a bit so it doesn't stick out so far

I just did the ruff stuff clamps

Checked for what I thought was 1 exhaust leak and found 3 lol. 3 missing ARP header bolts and 2 missing collector bolts. I guess my elbow isn't as calibrated as a real torque wrench. PSA: Check your header bolts

I wonder why they went with rolled edges

It's an OEM fit, I was going to go with the silicone kit from Toms.

Are the silicone heater hoses worth the extra $? My heater hoses are 4 years old, they're just generic parts store rubber hoses (not molded) and I've noticed that they are getting kinks in them. I'm sure its because they're older now, but driving the bronco around in 19* weather has encouraged...
