Title: let see if this works lol Post by: penski61 on September 26, 2010, 04:35:53 PM went ahead and try my hand and cutting the louvers on the hood , first 2 i did got a little off but overall i think it came out ok
it defiantly is pushing air out from under the hood now , i just need to make a catch can for water then pipe it so water isnt goin right onto the engine (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P9267080.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P9267081.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P9267091.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P9267101.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P9267093.jpg) Title: Re: let see if this works lol Post by: eglaisi on September 26, 2010, 08:08:31 PM Looks good. Ive been thinking of adding some to my HB.
Howd you do it? Just cut out strips then weld them back in on an angle? :cheers: Title: Re: let see if this works lol Post by: penski61 on September 26, 2010, 08:30:19 PM taped everything off in one big square for each side
the tape i had was 1" wide so i butted tape up until it filled out the square , then cut(angle grinder with cut off wheel) at each piece of butted tape, notched the sides and then popped the pieces out at an angle i was originally goin to use turbo lebaron hood vents but apparently they are very popular cause they were all gone at the JY Title: Re: let see if this works lol Post by: SteeevO on September 26, 2010, 09:02:41 PM Outstanding.
I was actually thinking about doing this to my rig a while back. Title: Re: let see if this works lol Post by: dvdswan on September 26, 2010, 10:34:29 PM um... is there anything you CAN'T do ??? looks awesome. :thumbup:
Title: Re: let see if this works lol Post by: penski61 on September 27, 2010, 04:33:26 PM yea or nay? still keeping the louver so it will help direct the air then these will help keep the water out

Title: Re: let see if this works lol Post by: theking on September 27, 2010, 09:28:58 PM The louvers look good, though. Functional. I'd cut out some more and just add a drip plate underneath. 8)
Title: Re: let see if this works lol Post by: penski61 on September 27, 2010, 10:17:02 PM yeah i think ill skip on the scoop , defiantly gonna add a catchpan underneath
Title: Re: let see if this works lol Post by: dvdswan on September 27, 2010, 10:23:45 PM silly question, but whats a catch pan? is that for rain? :hit:
Title: Re: let see if this works lol Post by: penski61 on September 27, 2010, 10:31:25 PM yeah just a pan that goes underneath the hood to catch the water that will have a hose attached to it so the water wont drain all over the engine
