One More Time: Fiberglass Cowl Induction Hood [Archive]

FordNut

08-13-2007, 06:54 PM

OK, here we go again...

I started today working on the '95 Cobra R Cowl Hood mod for my car. My plan was to hack up a fiberglass 'stang hood and have the Cowl Hood Scoop bonded to my steel Marauder hood, something like what GDMJOE did to his car. Got to thinking, I'd better see about finding a good body shop to put this together so it lasts. They said "no way", it won't last on a street driven car. The heat cycles on a hood are too extreme and the thermal expansion properties of the steel and fiberglass are different. His experience has been about 2 years before cracking occurs.

So it's on to plan B, we're going to stick the hood together, then use it as a master to make the molds for a fiberglass hood.

Tomorrow I'll post some pics of the mock-up (not photochop) of the scoop stuck on the hood with tape. Once we stick the scoop on the hood to make the master, I'll be able to get pics of what the final product will look like. He says it should take about 2 months or so.

Anybody else interested in one? If 10 of us get one, it'll be about $1100 each. With 20, it'll be closer to $850. If it's just me, around $5500. Carbon fiber is possible, but it'll be much more expensive. The hood is wider than the standard width of his carbon fiber material, so he has to commit to a huge bulk order to get the wider roll.

I know, I know... everybody's going to say "here we go again, nothing will come of it, no consensus, etc", but this time it's different. No discussion on style choices, no decisions on which type to get, this is it. Take it or leave it. If you want something different, find somebody to make it.

I just bought a scoop that gdmjoe used.
Have to bring it to 'the man' soon.
Your advice from your body man is noot sound, IMHO.
Rivet first, then use body filler

so this would be a complete hood with the underside reinforced? And will bolt up to the stock hinges? Interested in seeing pics. My dads friend is amazing with fiberglass.

gdmjoe

08-13-2007, 07:07 PM

Zack ... Rivet first, then use body filler
DO NOT USE RIVETS ( speaking from experience ). Reason: Rivets expand and contract since their housing / casement is aluminum and the rivet is steel.

Sheet metal screws should be used to anchor the scoop to the hood while the panel bonding material sets and cures ( time dependent upon ambient temperature and humidity ).

After curing, the sheet metal screws are removed, and filler is used to blend the scoop to the hood.

Nice discussions on hood scoop bonding, but that was not the intent of this thread. I'm trying to find out if anybody else is interested in a FIBERGLASS hood with integral Cobra R cowl induction scoop. This is the '95 Cobra R scoop, not the '00 Cobra R scoop. The '00 is the one with the "gills"

Yes, it will be a complete fiberglass hood with fiberglass reinforcement ribs. The reinforcement panel will be shaped like OEM at the front, sides, and back but in the center the reinforcement ribs will fit the contour of the scoop. At the back, the vertical panel of the cowl scoop will be sealed but can easily be opened for ventilation with a hole saw and/or other hand tools.

It will bolt to the stock hinges and use the stock hood latch, no hood pins necessary. It will have metal reinforcement plates where the hinges and hood latch are attached to the hood.

It wasn't exactly symmetrical and the curvature at the back didn't conform to the Marauder hood's shape, so I modified a little more:

Edit: After seeing it on the car, all it needs it the Mach 1 chin spoiler and it would be really aggressive looking.

Good luck with the GB...if'n you get 19 people, I may be able to convince the Bunny Lady to be the 20th... :eek:

Zack

08-14-2007, 01:06 PM

My only concern with the scoop is that it is too rounded on the sides and tapers to a smaller width when approaching the windshield.

If you found a way to follow the line of the hood all the way to the windshield, it would be perfect.

On the other hand, gdmjoe's scoop does exactly what I said and looks just like yours.

Maybe with the CV community involved? Your probably right. I spoke to a body shop buddy who I know and he stated for years people have been putting fiberglass hood scoops on metal hoods, myself included. If it is done properly with a good fiberglass component and done by a knowledge body shop, he said not expect any problems. If you think the hoods are solid enough, I would be interested in purchasing one and have my body shop do the work on my metal hood. He does this type of work for the hot rod club here in Florida on a regular basis.

FordNut

08-16-2007, 01:59 PM

On hold until Sept 4. I actually had it all loaded in the truck and planned to take it to the body shop today. Wifey found out and says "oh no you're not", so I've got to wait until I "officially" start my new job on the 27th. I know she's right, it's the prudent thing to do but damn, I'm ready to have a hood made and quit talking about it. So I just unloaded it and leaned it back up against the wall. Gives me a little more time to see if anybody else is interested, maybe some of the folks who are out of town for the WDC will chime in during the next couple of weeks.

Brian, any estimate on weight savings?

Expecting this info tomorrow. The stock hood weighs about 56 lb. If weight is really critical it could be made with carbon fiber. If it's going to be painted anyway it shouldn't matter if the carbon fiber is a solid piece, so that may be an option some buyers would be interested in.

I've been thinking about having the support panel on the bottom side of mine made of carbon fiber so the underside of the hood matches my carbon fiber radiator cover and Metco intake tube. Probably would cost a little more, but in the overall scope of things how bad could it be?

To me, it looks like the hood is a "stock" one with the cowl added on. You can notice the lines off to the side of cowl just as our stock hood sits. Personally I think it looks good though. I am curious to see how it looks on an MM though. I wonder if you can have it painted and shipped to you, of if it would be too much of a PITA if it could get scratched.

A lot of saab replacement parts are shipped painted....it's a huge pita.
If you buy it, i'll paint it and put it on for you Raudermaster, as long as you promise me a ride once your s/c install is done.

That's really not bad for freight on a hood. When I shipped freight regularly for a job I used to have, anything that didn't fit nicely on a pallet (weird size) started at 300 bucks.

I'm wondering if I'm missing something in the photos...do I see a lack of any metal hardware surrounding the hinge points and hood striker/latch area? This is asking for BIG trouble. There was a company called MPH that did Stang widebody kits, and all the hoods cracked due to no reinforcement at stress points.:(

You have a very valid point about the lack of reinforcement. Looks like you were the only one with their head on straight and not all googley eyed over a real hood option for our car.

Thanks for ruining my wet dream. lol

The hood struts are mounted to the hinge, not the actual hood.
The owner himself told me he has not experimented with a hood on a car yet.
He said the struts MAY need to be replaced with a prop rod or let the gas out of the shocks.

For the longest time a cowl hood was a pipe dream, thats why I havent checked out this thread.

I think a GB is in order or else Ill have to make a drive to MD cause almost $300 in shipping isnt sitting well with me.

I don''t expect much faster at the strip with the hood, but standing still it will be faster.:D Once painted, pics will be shown here.

MarauderTJA - I don''t expect much faster at the strip with the hood, but standing still it will be faster.
You should, however, experience lower engine bay temperatures; that's been my experience.

What do think this hood would look like with a shaker sticking up out of it?
I'm thinking that the bulge may be a little too tall for a shaker.

And we want lots of pics when you do get it.

Honestly, I think fastcars looks better. The back of his scoop doesnt angle back towards the front of the car. I like that look better but interested in seeing pics of one done and installed.

Hey Sabtaj,

That's GDMJOE's hood, not mine. I think it looks amazing, also. Hadn't thought about it the way you mentioned, the back of it, that is... Also, the front of it might look better, too. There's something about that hood, man - it's amazing!

But I agree. I can't believe nobody with some cake hasn't bought this Marauder hood yet, and had it painted and installed. It's really very good. I'd love to see it, too. If it works out well, in the future, I'd definitely consider it.

I wanted the pics on the thread again side by side...

I just talked to them, the one they had in stock has been shipped out. About 10 days lead time to order one. I'm making a trip to VA for work tomorrow and figured if they still had one I would pick it up. Hoping to see some pics posted with it installed on a car soon!
