87-93hood on 86????????
I can't find a full length 5 inch cowl hood for my 86 Mustang GT, can a hood from an 87-93 be modified to fit?
|
Technically, I suppose you could do it with a load of fiberglass or metal, a welder, and about 500 man hours, but in all realism, no.
Sorry, but they are completely different. |
might be easier to change the whole front clip to 87-93 than try to make the hood fit. sorry :(
|
Could I get a regular cowl hood, strip off some of the gelcoat aroung the rear section, then make the section that extends to the hood and attach it with the glass/epoxy?
|
If you're gonna have to modify a hood, why don't you get a stock 86 hood and using fiberglass, make it a cowl hood?
|
I'd rather have a full fiberglass hood rather than mess with a steel one, plus it would probably be hard to make or find a cowl with a good even shape. At least if I get like a 5" cowl fiberglass from cervini's or wherever, all I'll have to do is make a short section to fit up to the back of the hood. I'd probably custom order one, but I've e-mailed a few places about it and they never got back to me. Does anyone know who offers custom orders on hoods?
|
alot of places sell hoods now for the 86. why modify one for an 87 when you can buy one for the 86?
|
I plan on buying onw for an 86, but I can't find a full length hood for my year, so I'll have to modify a regular length 5" cowl hood and add the rear section to go up to the windshield.
