    Arrow Fwiw...

    I'm using this epoxy resin...http://www.ebay.com/itm/EPOXY-RESIN-...item483544bccc

    Check some of the links within their page for some great tips..(at least they were great for a noob like me)

    And this method of application...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rTWaV1imzs

    With liberal wet sanding & a couple coats of uv clear coat to finish.

    You're the one adding carbon fiber...on top of fiberglass... on top of a big metal hood. At least the top layer of your hood will be light weight. Weird-O

    I'm just kidding, it should look very nice. Unless of course you screw it up

    And there is the reason I'm a little nervous...never done nuth'n like this before.

    To be truthful, I've never wanted to be considered anything BUT a weird-0...

    And I blame Roger Miller...

    Or even... Johnny Cash..
