So I like the way the hood opens and closes I added two additional hood latches which helps align the hood I just need to fine tune the gaps and fill all the voids I also started going back over the seems with West Marine 403;micro fibers and resin with hardener I don’t clam to be an autobody expert but if Allan can build almost 40 cars and paint each one he had to start somewhere so I like the challenge wish me luck

Are you using Vinylester resin? You should be since that's what the body is made of and it's really not advisable to mix unlike materials.

I am using West Systems 105 resin and 205 Hardener which was recommended to use on this body this system is an extremely high strength system
