|  Ideas for making a cowl hood scoop???
I have an Hpi 1979 F-150 body and want to make a cowl hood scoop for it like the one in this picture for my FOFF build. I work at a collision shop and I thought of using plastic filler, Duraglas, or 3M two part epoxy to mold it. Anyone have any ideas in this? My other thought was styrene glued together and sanded down to form the shape. I want it about 1/2 -3/4 tall. Please give me your ideas or thoughts. Thanks

Styrene or have someone 3d print it for you. If you want, I know There are vendors on here that have done these cowl hoods. Hit them up, im sure there very reasonable in price. www.liquidprintedgraphics.com/ follow on twitter @ Liquid_PG follow on Facebook "liquid printed graphics" Last edited by Grichardson152; 02-26-2014 at 12:01 PM. |

Today I was messing around with some 3M epoxy and decided to try and make a cowl hood scoop. I took a small cardboard box approximately the size of the scoop and filled it about 1" thick with the two part epoxy. I peeled the box off it after it had cured and started carving it with a small grinder and then hand sanded it to where it is in the pics. I have to get some filler for the pin holes but I think it turned out pretty nice. Let me know what you think?
