|  Aluminum panels
Started making new skins for the bomber, what a pain!! Props to guys with skills to do them that look factory!! Mine aren't that great, but I figure what the heck, cover em with stickers, and beat em up, they will look better

All I did for my aluminum panels was cover the stock ones in blue painters tape, trim around the outside, peel the tape off, transfer the pattern to aluminum and trim with hand shears then punched holes for the screws. Easy peasy |

Looks good, I am a fan of wrapping the tubes. If you do another roof, wrap the sides as well for coolness multiplier.

My hood is tight to get the pins in now, hopefully the alum hood will close a bit tighter | |

| Re: Aluminum panels    Not too stoked on how the hood came out, but now that it's done I have a few different ideas for the next one Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk |

Yeah the stock plastic hood has multi-plane bends. Tried to re-create them with the aluminum hood. It's not perfect but it looks better than being completely flat.

The hood needs a cowl the width of the cow bars tapering to the nose of the hood. Make it about 1/8" tall tapering to nothing. Kinda like the camaro or corvette hoods. That would look da bomb.....
