Default New member seeking assistance

Hi,
I'm currently in the process of building a 427 Shelby Cobra that will have several of the fiberglass components (doors, hood, deck lid) replaced with formed aluminum pieces. Most of this work has been completed but the hood still needs some attention. Looking for a competent metal shaper to help me relocate the hood scoop. Recommendations?

Doug

Hi Doug, welcome to the forum. There are a number of metal shapers in the twin cities area. Watch for Dan Pate's meet in the spring (Route 56 WingNut)
It is usually around the first weekend in May. Attend if you can, lots of experienced people there.

I used to live in Bloomington, but now I live in Cumberland, WI (about 2 hrs NE from MPLS.)

Post some photos and show us what you are trying to do with the hood/scoop. You'll get lot's of free advice.
