Default 54 MG drag car hood

While in Rhinebeck, my sponsor Pat, wanted a better hood built for his 54 MG drag car. Small block chebby with injection through the hood. He had an original hood to go from, so I took that home and made a simple copy.

I dont have pics or much detail on how I laid it out, but can discuss how i did it if anybody in interested.


A pretty simple fun project. Used .062 3003 ally, covered the outside i clear shelf paper to protect it, and went to town...



GoKart slicking the rolls, started out with a high crown lower wooden anvil and sucessivley got smaller untill I reached the radius I wanted.
