No way could I count the hours, if I did I would crazier then I already am. It would take a decent amount of time to do right. But everyone has their own idea about what is acceptable, but I'm a psycho when it comes to making my stuff perfect. For me the right way would be to trim the back skin where the opening will be, and then cut the front skin of the hood ¼-1/2” longer then the headlight opening so you can then fold the outer skin in using a hammer and dolly, pliers etc. That way the edge looks natural, like it was made at the factory. Some people like to take a cutting wheel and just chop it and weld it closed and bondo. And to be perfectly honest most people wouldn’t notice, but I sure would.

It's funny you mention engine pics....
I pulled my 6.0L block off the rack today for the beginning of its paint job. Technically she's a little bigger then 6.0L but whatever...

As of now i just finished hitting it with the first primer coat, to then be followed by some scotch bright and another hit of primer. Once the second primer coat is smoothed comes the copper engine enamel & CLEAR COAT ....

Who the f*** clear coats an engine.......This guyyyy

Pics!

it took me so long to sort through almost 60 pages of this amazing thread/post but now I want moreeeeeeeee! Copper&Black you should open your own shop. It looks like you're OCD about attention to detail like I am, but way more extreme!!! Keep it up man this shit is inspiring. I say when this is done buy the nnbs and make another sick fully custom ride!
