Default How would i mold a cowl to oem hood?

So on ebay for like 80 bucks i found a super sick hood cowl.
I also found a 25$ white hood on kijiji with a little dent

i figure i may as well try to make a super sweet good outta it...
sand the crap outta the hood - what grit paper would i use?
then pretty much just bondi the cowl ontop of the oem hood..

how would this hold up? would the cowl blow off from driving fast?
what would i have to do to prevent water from going in the back side?

it was a joke. red neck style



I would use 3m double sided tape and then you wanted a better look and you are going to paint then you might was well use a little bondo. IDK. Thats how I would go about it.

whats the cowl made out of? Generally fiberglass and steel dont like each other. If you found a metal cowl, just weld it on, grind it down, then fabricate it to your liking.
