So after i got it back to the shop i started by taking the entire hood off again (which by the way is a lot more awkward to undo and hold the thing yourself)
i figured i should start by getting that snapped bolt out, so our snap on rep came by and i bought a screw extractor set, and then when i was drilling into it i snapped the damn bit off in the bolt.... so then i went to home depot to find a colbalt bit, spent waaaay too much time on it so i said screw it and just ran the 1/4" bit through, ran a tap into it and threw a bolt in there so theres one problem fixed

Then i sanded down the entire thing and found a couple more cracks, mainly around the vents and 2 scratched up spots on the front, so i mixed up some duraglass and started getting to work on patching the chips, used some resin on the corner to harden the loose fibers, and then built out with it to reconstruct it, sanded it all down and the got down to priming it up, not a perfect job but looks really arent my thing lately lol anyway, heres a couple pics theyre pretty self explanatory

Glad its working out for you. BTW, I guess you owe me $20 since adambabcock didn't show up to collect your old hood. No hurry though.

I was there when the shut down the east side mobile radio. Didn't hear they shut down silverdale. My dad works at Liberty Bay Auto where the Poulsbo branch started. That's still there right? Auto center way was a weird one. Lots of factory upgrade kind of things. AC, cruise, keyless, and deck/two installs.

I still remember when I met you and the camaro, Al. Back in 97ish. Haha.

Bremerton still does factory stuff, a lot of dealer stuff like Lo-Jack also. It's where I'm getting my A/C fixed Cool
