I'll keep this simple. Before and after pics. You all know the work that goes into the process, after all, you all walked me through it.

Thanks Guys for all your help and support.:brap:

My version of a Slutty Hood Mod

Looking good. The hood looks really good. Cleanest slutty mod I think I have seen yet.

Not really feeling the turfed nose piece though :dunno:

I bought it off ebay last year after loosing the nose piece again. It's ugly but it's bulletproof!!! :biggthumpup:

Looks great, I like the nose piece...you need to turf your chinpad though.

I'll do it this weekend if I get a chance. Thanks

Thanks. I laid up a layer of cloth and a layer of matt and pressed it flat on my work bench to cure. I trimmed the cured piece to fit perfectly in the hood. Once trimmed, I laid another piece of cloth over top extending a few inches out in every direction, making sure to not get any resin on the extending parts.

Once cured this gave me a perfect insert with a flexible "skirt" to extend up the sides of the hood for strength and resin application. A little resin and a few strips of cloth and you get what you see.

I also laid down some scraps of carbon fiber cloth in the areas visible through the new intake holes.

I was thinking about this project this morning and dug up the old thread. It's funny how you can sum up a 200hr plus project in under 10 pics, lol.

I actually have a few hundred pics taken during the process.

Ocd you getting nostalgic?

 

[OCD Solutions]

A little bit yup. Was reading up on the re-foam threads and couldn't remember how much I actually posted.

Here's the strip down process and some pics of the damage to the hull.

There are two massive cracks in the handpole mount area and the strakes on the bottom of the hull were completely worn through in multiple places.

 

[OCD Solutions]

Cut holes to strip out all the wet foam and fixed up a few cracks and old holes. Started prepping the handpole area for repair.

 

[OCD Solutions]

More handpole mount repair... Looking back, I knew nothing of how to properly make this repair.

 

[OCD Solutions]

Sealed exhaust, added scupper, filled in old bilge fitting hole, smoothed over HIN position.

 

[OCD Solutions]

Started working on hood. Filled in vent holes, added rear vents and a few other general repairs.

 

[OCD Solutions]

Started glassing up handhold buckets and Slutty Hood liner.
