To bad it's not a Wheel Horse.  A "Mobil Bus Stop" like that would get a lot of mileage at the Big Show:ychain:

Looks like the driver might have to sit sidesaddle on that rig.

Cleaning house a bit... set this hood here.  Maybe I should change my plans a bit?  I’m not really, but don’t it look sweet?

I'm normally a fan of the 70s hood and Trina of the 60s square hood.

 

In this case I'd have to say the 60s hood is BETTER.

Remember, the Predator engine that is going in this build... is the whole reason for this build!  “What should I do with the 6.5 horse engine that @elcamino/wheelhorse gave @19richie66 gave me?”

:confusion-confused:              You could slide a Wankel Rotary engine under that hood.

Last night I played with trying to find spot welds on the top skin of the hood.  It’s not that easy every time!  I found plenty of spots they aren’t!  Switching to a wire wheel on the disc grinder made it a little easier to strip paint and not metal, but it was still a challenge.  Finally I flipped the hood over and gave the really rusty areas a good scuff.  They popped pretty well and I will try to measure them and drill from the other side.  I also thought about maybe drilling a small pilot straight through that would be easy to weld shut.
