Custom/Hybrid my stunt hull build

also decided to build me a hood a liner, but im trying to do it without spending alot. so instead of ordering everything from us composites could i just use the stuff they have at walmart for this job or is that dumb. i haven't heard anyone say much about that stuff so i figured id ask before i get it. if its a bad idea ill just spend the money but i'm really trying to save some.

That paint looks great!

I would stick with the quality stuff for the hood liner, I remember wammer telling that because the motor acts as a pump, causes the hood liner to flex up and down, so if it isnt built right fatigue will cause it to crack/fail, it made sense to me at the time, not to mention wammer has a lot of experience. might as well do it right the first time.

What is that opening opening/void in the tray area?

I would go with epoxy and biax...dont think you can go wrong with that. Plus I dont know if youve ever looked at the price of the vynlester/chop at walmart, but I dont think you would even save that much going that route,

How does the underside of that hood look? are you starting from scratch or is their some sort of removable "frame" I thought I saw you mention something about that earlier.

i wouldnt put any padding down on the bottom... of the foot holds do the padding on top of the foot holds it seems to me the tops of my feet hurt way more than the bottom and i wear shoes..so the bottoms are just fine.. but the top... mite want to think of that...
