This bleeping hood is gonna drive me to drinking. But I think it's almost ready to paint. 

 

...Almost. :rolleyes:

 

Little dings and stuff all over it. Two holes drilled for headlights by somebody and the bottom of the tombstone had to be completely rebuilt. 

 

Almost... :lol:

As long as I had spent on my hood, after I painted it, I wished I had spent just a little more time on it.

Well this hood has been primer coated about 5 times, each after finding another ding to tap out and fix. Actually got another coat today. But it looks pretty good right now. I'll go over it tomorrow with 800 grit and scope it over once more. 

 

And I've made up my mind on the fuel pump. Now I have to figure out where to put the thing. Not alot of room on a 701 to hide an electric pump...

I would stick with original if I could get a rebuild kit. My luck must be bad and I got tired of waiting. :rolleyes:
