It's not everyday I make a 70 coronet fender from scratch so I put a little more ' muscle ' into the fender scoop just for kicks.


That is TRULY a work of ART! You Sir are an Artist extraordinaire!  One might say a Don-atello or a Leonardo Don Vinci!          All kidding aside........ I would love to watch you work your artistry. The link to the youtube video says it's "private" Do you have any shared video of your art craft?
Looking forward to seeing more, Absolutely amazing what you are doing!

Thanx. This Bird build is all steel..so far. I set aside the 'glass hood work for now .Since I don't have a donor 70 coronet hood I opted to do the reverse of what most do and am using a steel 70 RR hood to convert to a superbird hood and a air grabber hood too. The slope of the hoods are the same up until the S bird bead addition however the coronet hood edges taper in approx 1" at the front more so than the RR hood so have to a pie slice sliver out of the edges to match the coronet fenders etc.

Now I'll be sloping down the front of the hood center like Stu did then adding a hand fabbed peaked center section then adding the hood extension
