Did you make some kind of template to glass back in the area you had to cut out in the front? I have always used something like posterboard with vaseline as a releasing agent on it. Then glass it on. How did you acomplish it? It looks nicely contoured.

Finished hood scoop!
Just to let you know, I went to look at the finished product under your profile->garage->"my rat" and there was only one picture and I don't think it was the finished one you intended for us to look at. FYI you have three albums and three pictures total in your public profile.

position the scoop on the hood, scribe the outline with a marker, then make a groove in the hood's glass (i used an electric drill with a sanding disc) and thin the bonding surface of the scoop from the underside. that will give you a feather edge instead of a butt edge. use epoxy and screws to set the scoop inplace, then add a few layers of glass cloth to reinforce, and finish with body filler. it will be nicely contoured and strong. see "my rat" in my garage for the finished product.
