Grabber hood. I don't like the space around the scoops.

Can I fill them in with bondo, or a fiberglass reinforced filler, or what?

I don't want mine to look like they are an insert. Even though they are.

Want to do the same with my spoiler pieces, so they blend in without looking like bolt-ons.

 

The problem with doing this is the seam line will eventually come back through with age.

 

I would say use fiberglass mat, to bridge the gap or you could end up with cracks...

 

Just buy a carbon fiber hood, and sell yours. The issue with filling them on a hood is the different expansion rates of different materials, and since it has a hot engine underneath, nothing will last long.

 

Damn. I was afraid of that.

That is one of the things I never liked about the grabber hoods. That huge seam is an annoyance.

 

Exactly!
And a real nice Grabber hood will just about get you a cf one anyway.

 

Ah come on man--its an early 70s car, not a new form fit one! lol Really though, its what makes 'em such retro wonders don't ya think! Otherwise I know what you mean--you just have to love 'em the way they are. lol Enjoy whatever you select, thats the main thing!!!!

 

the little bit of rattle you get with the inserts is what I don't like

 

I filled mine in on my fiberglass hood

 

So far, I only have $150 into the hood. I am pretty sure I only have about $25 worth of material (not counting paint), and a couple hours labor before I have it "like new". CF hoods are WAY more than that.
