Been doing glass work for almost 30 years. I'm the plant manager at a fiberglass shop. Pretty nice work. The only thing I would suggest is pre wetting your mold before your first layer of glass, the resin should always be coming up through the glass bringing the air with it. Also easier to wet out that way.

Many years ago it was winter in Newport Beach. My buddy and I were at loose ends so we decided to re-glass our surf boards in the garage. We did all the prep work of cleaning wax and sanding. But when it came time to actually pour on the glass, there was a cold snap . Soooo, we closed the garage door. After about ten minutes I could not feel my tongue. Thirty minutes later, we were finished, literally. We were higher than kites. We decided to go swimming and the pool water could not have been much more than 55 degrees. Never felt a thing. Then we watched “The endless summer” about six times before passing out cold. The next day presented us with splitting headaches but Portuguese Bend had waves and we greeted them at about 6:00 am. Monday was the SAT Test. I used my lucky nickel on about half of the questions. He just guessed. Average students before, we scored extraordinarily high (?). I went to the University of Illinois and he went to the Air Force Academy. I chalk this up to “Better living through Chemistry”. Larry, retired Architect, Arizona

This was a very involved process. About 75% of the way was when I realized they were making the actual mold for the hood to be shaped after. This looks like about $750-$1200 dollars worth of work if you charged for it. Maybe for the next hood, you guys throw in an LED Strip that frames the hood and engine bay. I’d say go and grab a Subaru Impreza hood from the junk yard, make a new mold and then your business will really get going. Good Luck Guys and Great Video.

You'd go bankrupt before the end of the month if you charged $750 for this amount of work. There's cost of materials, cost of the building, hours, insurance, cleaning up afterwards which are hours you can't work either, taxes, nah. $750 might as well do it for free.

I had this idea 15 years ago but didn't know how to do it. I wrote the idea down in hopes of being able to do it someday. It extended beyond just the hood. It included the entire body. I had the idea of making the body out of PYREX material. Something really clear and heat resistant, shock resistant. It would have been expensive and I needed tooling to make the shaped glass. Thought of approaching Corning, but it never happened. Totally blown away by this project. Would like to see a whole vehicle done though.

JDM stands for japanese domestic market. it classifies any car made in japan. the appeal is japanese brand cars like honda cars sold world wide often had special stuff like stereos interior and exterior pieces. right hand drive chassis (steering on our passenger side) usually lots cooler than whats on USDM cars (united states domestic market) of the same company making the 'same cars'

Actually, I made a transparent hood for an Opel Manta with friends in 1979. Unfortunately, the heat from the engine was too much for the hood. We did this after seeing Grease. My father worked in a factory where they used liquid plastic like material, and through him, we bought many liters of that stuff. But honestly, ours was certainly not as beautiful as yours

This is a prime example of customization at its limit defining labor induction. It sets a mark of achievement rarely approached and often becoming a destination of desire that few have the fortitude and discipline to realize. I am in awe of the ability and work drive these individuals demonstrate in our present times. I am utterly baffled and continue to wonder 30 years since my introduction to the Definition of JDM why it continues to stagger sideways and fall flat off of generation after generation's blasphemous lips. What once was so briefly here to even be seen and sightings retold igniting life long quests for holy grails In sometimes singular quantities forged by life being the labor driven brands that have become biblical recantation uttering spoken when God like perfection is remembered. Companies who to those who vow to remember history were the closest anyone has come or some feel may ever come to creating perfection at any expense and so briefly achieved that such idolatry would be promptly and purposely lost to private archives of those lucky enough to have been in the right place at the right time...

Kudos on your execution- took me a while to realise you were building a cavity mould. For me the LED JDM spoiled the result but that’s just a personal opinion, still an awesome job though. Last off, hate to burst your bubble but clear see through hoods have been done long before you guys. They were a common sight at hot rod show car events back in the 80’s I remember seeing several at meets in Australia and in hot rod magazines of the day.
