Whats the going price Jim? My dad damaged my perfectly good hood. Looks like I could use one maybe....at his cost.

Alright! After being beaten up and ridiculed by Jim and Ed and all those who practically molesterd me into giving in, I gave in to the high scool style peer pressure and bought one of Chris's carbon fiber hoods. Ive been bullied!

Great, now that you gave in, I have to find a way to get the hood home! Who wants to buy a metal ginster b4 hood at BBQ:)

Just double stack!

In considering the possibility that I'll 1. Be at BBQ and 2. Get a CF hood, I've decided that I'd find a B3 hood to leave in vegas (I have 2).

I for one may take a pre trip down to get the pick of the litter seeing as everybody else wants to wait till October. so I will burn a bit more gas, seems like a good trade off.

lol I wonder how long it takes to ship, does not sound like they'll be created till late Aug.

Another option could be rigging up some sort of fabric tonneau cover for a hood lol

I have a feeling there will be a lot of B4 hoods for sale at the BBQ! Mine included if the car makes it down there

I think its hilarious that everybody assumes Hank will be happy to take their hood off their hands in October. honestly, I would want to have my hood on hand in case the CF hood gets damaged and can't be run. but that's just me.

Yeah...maybe I should just drive down without one. Or fine a B3 for cheap to drive down there with and scrap when I put the CF on. That way I have the metal B4 at home as a spare.

who is going to camp out in a structure made of b3/4 hoods?

scubadave · Post by **scubadave** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 6:20 pm

lol, Hank will make them into a storage shed, or a toolbox or something cool.

scubadave · Post by **scubadave** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 6:41 pm

somebody needs to but 2 of them together on their roof sideways and another one upside down on their trunk to see if they get enough lift to fly home.

Vegas is a big place, I'm sure I can find a home for a B3 hood.

I like the Benz wheels.

I made a heat shield out of a diff part I had in my tool box. I never throw away good usable parts that could be repurposed. Yes, I have a whole drawer full of stuff like that...and a few other boxes...and another drawer. I cant seem to throw it out.

Anyway, this is what I came up with. I hope it deflects the heat like I want.

So, this is how far back in the motor is. Stabbed it saturday. Spending about 4 hrs a day at times working on it. I cant wait to fire it up again. Why do I love my car so much?

Am interested how you did the heat shield

Mcstiff · Post by **Mcstiff** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 3:11 pm

Cut circle ~2" larger than mount OD, snip ~1" radial tabs x~24, bend tabs 90°.

Ohh Ed, you gave away my super secret process for my heatshield!
