Stepped hood

Just finished tacking the hood together
made by putting two hoods together one skin over the other with a piece of 1/8 flat stock wedged between for thickness on the edge. Truck will be two tone when painted wanted a raised speration at the paint line.

Keith-
Really looks good. By the way, I was looking through your gallery and it struck me.....you're not leaving that front bumper alone are you? I notice it is tucked in but come on, you can get creative with that also. Let's see something different. Another question, are you tig or mig welding all the sheet metal mods?

Very neat idea, I think that will look very cool with the two tone paint

Ya Know, I'm always a little hesitent to look at these threads, I'll pass by several times. I always do end up looking, and relooking. Then I go to the gallery and go over the whole project.
When I'm done looking it's always the same reaction, astonishment.
It doesn't matter if I like the modification or not, the quality of the work is the best, the design elements are fantastic and the flow from one section to another is perfect.

Please get with the FTE mgmt and arrange a special unveiling when this masterpiece is finished.

Please, Please, Please.
When you are done bending metal, please roll it outside and photo document the entire truck before any type of finish work or coatings are put on.
People need to see the amount of metal bending that went into this project, once covered the true magic will disappear.
Yea, I looked some more.
