Default Something of a setup question here. . .SS Hoods

Alright. I got a hood CHEAP and decided to do a pin-on type. Now, the underside was pretty bad, and the top wasn't much better...





I'm starting on the underside BEFORE I work on the top. That way, I've got the bottom structure done before I mess up the top. I'll be using a few strategically placed aluminum bars and fiberglass, but now I'm wondering if I should continue on w/FULL pin-on, OR use the hinges and front pin-down, OR scrap the whole under support and go dzus .... like Madmans setup as seen here. . .




My current underside...





Top started, but postponed until bottom done.
