You give so many techniques that will be incredibly useful when I get to this point on my hood! Keep up the great work. I know it takes you a ton of time to film and edit all these videos. It's great to pass along your knowledge!

Thanks Doug. Doing these videos really slows the process down but it is nice to know it is helping others make their build that much nicer.

Another great video Mark. Thanks!

Almost no structure under those old hoods, especially when they are off the truck.

As a welding instructor/inspector for 41 years at a major industrial refrigeration corporation, I was often asked what my expectation was regarding the level of quality I would accept. My answer was the the Constant Pursuit of Perfection. Your work is the embodiment of that principle.

Thank you Lyle, that was an incredibly nice thing to say. I have never been a half ass kind of guy. This truck is coming out way nicer than it was supposed to but I really don't any other way...

Great work, i wish I had your patience.

Thanks, starting off small and getting some wins early helps.

Very well taught. I learn a lot from your videos. We still have a lot of gravel roads where I live. The driver's side always gets more chips from the wheels of oncoming traffic kicking up rocks on that side when you pass each other on narrow gravel roads. Most people slow way down but some people not so much. Thank you for your time.

Gravel guard the whole car!! Just kidding 😊

Thanks Mark. I still have to get the hood on my '50 panel prepped. Luckily no speakers have fallen on my hood (last I checked). I am stealing your 1 x 2 hood support idea. I may try to add an upright in the middle at the seam.

The hood kept trying to walk off the rack but now it is solid and easy to handle. It is a big hood so watch your back.

ill copy your hood support.

It has worked out really well so far and makes it so much easier to work on the hood without damaging it.
