Rusty,
I have a great interest in your hood project. I have 2 decent hoods and am trying to buy a 3rd hood. My plans are to dissect and rebuild the worst hood of the lot and then repeat it with my best hood. I have not seen anyone post clear steps in the process. I see mostly before and after photos with a short explanation but no steps explained to guide us. Please take pics. I plan to start mine this fall.
Jay
