How I fixed the broken hood

I like the tip about drilling end of cracks. I'm waiting to see how my fiber glass is going to hold up. I did about the same with the aluminum plates, then layered on 3 layers of fiber glass and resin.I should of taking more pic's. then bolted a l-shape piece from the bracket to the front of grill.Then added piece of expanded metal to the nose. The duct tape was removed and I glassed it from the under side. Feels pretty rigid My question is with the bonding, and a new lens.

If you roughed everything up with say 100grt sandpaper and got everything really clean before doing the glass job it should last, as long as you didn't go overboard with the hardener and mix it to where it will crack with vibration. I have 20+ years repairing furniture and fiberglass, epoxies and bondo are some of the things we used to fill in big chunks that were missing. People would have a fit if they new they just bought a new table that costs $3,000.00 to $10,000 and it has a quart of bondo for one corner. But that is why the factories pay a good repair man that can hide any evidence that there was ever anything done so well. Prior to that I did light body work and turned wrenches for a living, so you could say I have a little experience with this kind of work. LOL. Both the lenses on my GT are jelly glass resin without the cloth and very little hardener so they can vibrate for ever and not crack.
