lookforjoe Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks, Andy! i'm excited to see the dyno plots. I might be driving through you neck of the woods the weekend of the 3rd, maybe i can swing by and check this thing out. That would be fine! If you do, please bring the heim for the rear Koni shock - I keep forgetting to get that from you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maciekb2002 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Now the biggest trick will be to do nice work on the bottom . Vent will be mounted right where main hood skin support is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookforjoe Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Now the biggest trick will be to do nice work on the bottom . Vent will be mounted right where main hood skin support is . Vent is actually just behind inner support skin Process pics: layout template markup tape outside of line first cut along back edge, using angle cutter front edge cut, most of sides cut, sharper radius has to be cut with dremel cutoff outer skin removed inner skin cut material removed: filed & cleaned all edges - ready for edge paint oh... me likey...2 things... 1. if it is plastics will it warp/melt from your headers/ turbo...no? 2. when it rains ? you making a cover for it or something? 1. vent is designed to vent engine bay heat. 2. when it rains, water will run over back of motor & onto the ground, not a problem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maciekb2002 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 that's what I am talking about . Make sure to blow the hood off and then shower it for 2 mins . No wiping what so ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkaplan Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ive done it before but it always takes some balls to take an abrasive cutting tool to your body work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
