Anyone want to place bets on how much it will weigh in at?

im going with ~25 lbs









**fine print**
winner must be within 2 lbs of actual weight, money upon lotto drawing shall be paid in increments of $1 spread through a 1 year time period. If the winner would rather recieve one lump some, 25% is deducted.

Progress bump,


Got two more layers of 11oz chopped mat on there yesterday, Pulled the mold off the hood and its pretty strong, well atleast it doesnt flex much, but still not good enough, as soon as i let it cure somemore, im going to trim the excess off, then add 1 more layer plus a few strips of kevlar, then one layer of CF, and after that i will do coremat strips and fiberglass, plus a final layer of CF. Since i dont need the hood anymore for this, im going to add the next layers during the middle of the week, hopefully...the laying of the material shall be done by next week if i stay ontop of this and have no service calls in my area.
