I am in process of restoring this car:
I don't know how that hood scoop (or whatever it is called) is attached to the hood. But it is cracking. The picture below isn't the best picture, but you can see the crack:
Under the hood looks like this (lot of dust in the air when pic taken):
So, my question is how do you recommend I repair this for a lasting repair. (Actually, I'm a bit doubtful that a fiberglass attachment to the hood can be a 'lasting' beautiful finish).
A friend of mine recommended that I sand out what is likely putty that was used to finishe it off, and use canned fiberglass for most of it, with thin layer of putty to finish that off.
What do you think?
