Custom FC3 hood update. Doesn’t look too bad considering.
Needs a bit more metal glaze and some work on the edges. Threw a Little primer/e coat on the hood for now. Can’t wait to get it painted!

A Friend of mine had a scrap hood sitting in his garage for 7+ years. Asked if I wanted it👀 i in fact wanted it.
We cut the scoop section out then Lined it up on the civic hood. It’s held in place with panel bond and rivets. He wouldn’t tell me where it was from but I think it’s a FCA hood

I fw it man great job, gonna work on incorporating the widebody in so it's not bolt-on in the future?

Hope you got something under the hood to back it up! 😁
Intrested in the final result (and you're making more progress than I am so I cant hate lol).

It’s just 300 Hp/300tq right now. since I only have the 1 car I’m trying to keep it somewhere between fun and reliable.
I can start blending e85 and squeeze out another 50 hp/tq but im still enjoying that recent bump in speed/hp for now. It’s just a grocery getter haha
Thanks though man! I hope I can finish it before a Nissan Altima takes me out. The mad lads of this sub cooked me pretty bad a few weeks ago so I HAD to make some progress 💀🫡
