For now I am keeping the fiberglass hood. However I want to install the 400 emblems on the hood. Just looking for input regarding drilling into fiberglass (never did this before) Also spacing / location of 400 hood emblems. These are factory emblems Thanks
Can't help you with drilling fiberglass, never did it. Have you thought about using emblem double sided tape like the new cars use. Would have to cut the mount posts off the emblems but you wouldn't have to drill your hood.
MT, anything you drill that is not hard like a metal always has the chance to "break out" in the back as the bit get close to coming through.
Drill slow, maybe back where the whole will be with a block of wood, use a small pilot drill dont finish hole from one side- meaning - the last little bit of drilling to be done should be drilled from the opposite side for last little bit
hopefully that helps, go slow.

I need help, if anyone see's I'm going down the wrong road--Straighten me out!
Hmm that is interesting. I will need to see this in a good pic or in person before I do any drilling. I am gonna get a hood in the fall any way from goodmark but even with the new hood will need to know stud locations Thanks for the information Bjorn

You will need the two emblems and a location from someone for at least one side...then you can locate the holes based on the emblems....just be aware that locating holes on one side, you cannot just flip the others ! , you`ll see it on the emblems , the stud locations are not the same...
Hello, does anyone have a template for the locations of the 400 hood emblems? I looked all over and cant seem to locate this info in the forums section.
Don't recall anyone having that...think you need to get someone to locate one of the emblems on a hood...then you can locate stud holes from the two individual emblems (not mirror image!)
