Fiberglass Tech Question
I've been building hot rods for over 30 years but this is my first fiberglass car and I'm wondering if there is any way to reshape fiberglass. I have a hood that I'd like to use and it fits good around the grille shell but at the cowl it starts to curve down to soon. I need to reshape the curve some and wondered if anyone has ever done this. Could I use heat lamps, or a heat gun or do I have to rethink this and make a steel hood. The car is the one on my Avatar, 29 Ford Roadster, and the hood was with the stuff I got with the car but because of the position of the radiator I had to shorten the hood, hence it does'nt fit at the back where it meets the cowl. When I cut it I cut it from the cowl end because it fit the grille pretty good. Any help from anyone thats reshaped glass ? Do I have to cut it and reglass it to the right shape. It's not off by much, (famous last words). Thanks in advance for any help.
