hey Chris...

 

I don't know if this will help you or not... I can't even remember the last time I used plans for anything, my house even....lol Was more like sketches on napkins.

 

Anyway, in my thread for my 2 and a half there is some pretty good pics/ closeups of how the hood was built.... it if looks like something you would want to do I could send you the dimensions of the pieces but they are not standard size stock ( like the 3/4" stuff you buy at Home Depot) so don't know if that will do you any good unless you are milling up your own stuff.
