Jasonsmack 08-01-2006, 03:28 PM Here is my project for this weekend - as long as I have time. I plan on cutting the hood and mounting them just in from of the firewall and just to the outside of the grooves in the hood. I think they will get the best flow and still look half decent there. What do you guys think? w_huisman 08-01-2006, 04:56 PM Oughta make for good windshield defrosters in the winter too. edzzed 08-01-2006, 07:12 PM i think if you used that thing in your avatar you could wrap this project up in a few seconds. why spend all day doing it. it's hard to tell what the vents look like. maybe lay them on the hood and post it for us......

Ed hahahaha it would put some nice big ole holes in the hood AND the heads AND the block AND through the oil pan! lol joispoi 08-01-2006, 07:56 PM a friend of mine has a utility body with a 454. The truck used to be an amubulance. It has louvres in the hood very similar (if not the same) to what you have in that pic. I think it looks cool. A little retro, but cool.

It is too dark to take a picture tonight so I will get one tomorrow on where I plan to mount them. That big bangstick is getting some use a week from Saturday. I am going to a 50cal fun shoot just West of Edmonton. 2nd annual shoot. Last year was a blast (except for the ex military sniper handing my azz to me in the competition) I can't wait.

Bumpin' Yota 08-02-2006, 04:17 PM i think thatll look HAWT!! :D guybb3 08-03-2006, 06:02 AM i think thatll look HAWT!! :D Actually :cool2: , in the engine compartment anyway. cdre 08-03-2006, 10:30 AM Would there be any problem here with rain water coming in from the top? red suburban 08-03-2006, 10:39 AM i like it, how much is it setting you back cost wise? stingthieves 08-03-2006, 03:38 PM Last time I did something like that I never had a clear windshield again!-:t It always had a fog of something condensing on it. Try removing the seal at the rear of the hood to body. It may give you a hint of what could be instore! Or am I just getting too old?:eek: Kind Regards Rick Jasonsmack 08-03-2006, 05:08 PM We live in the most dry area of Canada here. I do not think that condensation will be an issue but I do understand where you are coming from. It does not rain here either. We average just over 1" of seasonal rain in this area - the farmers hit the jackpot if they get a couple of thunderstoms that dont hail them out in early summer. The little bit of snow or rain dropping in there will not be an issue. I got the pair of vents off eGay for 50 bucks. They are a little rough but a bit of light sanding will clean them up easily. They are Buick Grand National GNX fender vent reproductions. | ||
