attempting to restore a glue bomb....





The hood was pretty glued in, and it looks like some one pulled the firewall out and part of everything else with it.......

After taking the dremel to the hood with a cut off wheel i got it removed as well as the old cowl.........





Donor car was the '66 buick Dirt stocker........ (part of the front clip and hood) but he had a stock resin hood so i grabbed it.....

Here it is in its coat of clear, after the polish i gave it a couple more coats of color, then went in for the clear 20 minutes later, three moderate coats and the final coat was a heavy one.......





I dont even think i have but 5 hours in it at best.............

You did a bang-up job on that one! I'm in the process of restoring a few glue bombs and they royally suck. I bought a little bottle of super glue disolver and that helps soften the glue to get them apart, but the plastic around the glue tends to get brittle.
