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

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?

 

[penski61]

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

Outstanding.
I was actually thinking about doing this to my rig a while back.

um... is there anything you CAN'T do    looks awesome. 

[penski61]

yea or nay? still keeping the louver so it will help direct the air then these will help keep the water out

[theking]

nay

[BlackX]

nay

[theking]

The louvers look good, though.  Functional.  I'd cut out some more and just add a drip plate underneath.

[penski61]

yeah i think ill skip on the scoop , defiantly gonna add a catchpan underneath

[dvdswan]

silly question, but whats a catch pan?  is that for rain? 

[penski61]

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

nobody rag on me when i do this, im putting out in the open that im gonna copy it. haha
