I wish, I sorta hit a dead end with money for a good while, bought a house, lost a job.. the usual sh** I guess, I've got a new job finally , but yeah, killer hours and rarely a day off. I'm starting to get my life reset, but so far, no time to even knock the dust off my mold.
trust me, I would love to start these up again.

have you considered putting in a "splitter" or support in the middle of the scoop like some of the factory scoops have? I think it makes it look sweet and adds "support"

I did try it with one and then two... it looks okay, but added a whole lot more work, I fabricated em out of 1/8th inch thick six ply weave fiberglass with a poly resin, so it was stronger for sure, but didn't allow the scoop to seat as well to the hood. I should do a bit more research when I get back into it. I'm going to make a small car-sized workshop/room with a fiberglass grinding booth and breathing hood, to keep my skin happy and body unaffected. The laying up is easy, but cutting that crap suuuucks
And set it up with temperature control, so I can keep making stuff when it's not exactly sunny and warm completely separate from the house. I tried to do fiberglass in the basement, but holy cow, it was way too smelly, even with exhaust fans going.

That would help a lot... I'm winding up a few projects that pushed this to back burner, I hope to have my shop constructed soon. Oh and a new job happened, so I've just been working as much overtime as possible to build up funding!
