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.

[Cornfield Customs]

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

[obama]

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.

[Cornfield Customs]

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.
