Hoods are about the hardest panel on the car to get right, in my opinion. Being horizontal and very visible adds to the problem .The harder you lean on a sanding block or board strip
, the worse things get.
Also , you have the bracing underneath which makes things inconsistent.
Just keep it open in the pits or staging lanes..LOL

Looking good, Dave
Shoot me an email when you get a chance.

I know the feeling Dave...I'm at the same spot on the El Camino as well.

Don't give up on those blemishes...you will kick yourself later for not taking care of them at this stage.

There's a product called guide coat that helps with those pesky phantom low spots. It's a black powder that you rub on and wipe off to show the low and high spots for glazing or sanding. Used it on my Mustang.

All mine. Not perfect but it saved me big bucks. Just the red paint was $1000...

Finally! It's most definitely not perfect, but I think it'll do:

I'm betting you are relieved to finally get to this point...I know I sure will be.

Looks nice! Well, done.

Very nice Dave. Hope mine turns out that good.

Dave Muller · 01-13-2016, 09:30 AM

Thanks, guys.

Yes I am relieved. I hope the rough areas in the clear sand and buff out okay. I think they will.
