FX-1 Hood liner

[robwilliams]

Looking for advice on making a new fx1 hood liner. I removed the liner because it was sagging from heat and the foam blocks inside were loose and blocking air intake. I had to heat it up hot to get the glue to separate and left the liner unable to reuse. I've got minor fiberglass experience doing footholds and refoaming tray. I'm not sure how to make a liner though.

Blowsion used to make an fx1 one but discontinued it.

I'm ok with that. I was more or less looking for a solid way of recreating the liner with fiberglass I think. I have my own ideas of making a liner but I assume someone has a better way. I'm thinking I'll foam fill it and sand to needs then lay foil down over the foam to lay my glass on to, then I can remove the liner after dried and remove the foam base underneath. Then install the liner with 5200?

So i got this liner made just in time for Daytona and I figured I'd share some pics. It turned out pretty good I think. If I had to do it again I would have used 4200 instead of 5200.
