Project Copperhead II

Yeah, It was very easy. A couple guys and about an hour and the old bed was off and the newish bed on. All the bolt holes lined up and the only modification was to the filler necks for the gas tank and i had to lengthen my tail light wires.

So after the bed was done and back to one color i decide to attempt to build my own cowl induction hood. I bought a steel cowl from a local swap meet for $50 and started cutting away.

Here is the end result, it took a lot of time. Welding it on was difficult because I didn't want to warp the hood, tacked it on corner by corner then jumped around all over the place to distribute the heat as even as possible. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

right on man it looks great!

nice to see someone weld on a scoop rather than pop rivet a fiberglass one on then cake on the bondo so it can crack a month later

I still caked on the bondo however I prepped the metal extremely well and sealed it as soon has I was finished. I have had no issues yet and that was 8 years ago.
