the fiber an resin stage 1 so i cleaned it all up with a heavy grit 2" rolock on my buffer, then took a carbide and made a v- in all the cracks, used powder and chopped up fiber mat mixed into resin, filled the cracks, once dried, laid mat sheets over the area to support.

hey stealth, i just bought a crunched ss hood myself. i need to know what adhesive you use to reglue the underhood stucture to the top layer it was broke lose around the outside edge. looks like some kind of white chaulk ,you know like a seam sealer does anyone know? i only paid 50.00 for it at bone yard. can media blasting be used on this with good results? part numbers would help for the long hair etc. i'm going to try this my self
