Mike (cornfield Customs) I am looking at a upcoming project that may need a hood, and sides. I understand it can be done, with "pie cuts" or "pancake" or piecing other shapes together, but how would you estimate a price for you doing it? basic model T body with long hood to A radiator shell.

are you asking how much i would charge or how do i estimate a price for a customer on a project like that?

Just an estimate, or how much you charged for something similar in the past. Thank you, if you wish you can PM me with that or not.

if it were me i would make the hood from scratch. price would depend on the complexity of the hood, like if you wanted to put beads down the side to match a cowl, latching system..... the list goes on. roughly it would be between 250-500 to make it.

Thank you for the return, and info seems reasonable considering the hand shaping involved. I will what happens with this project don't know if I will be turning wrenches on it or not.
