The hood was done by Precision Metalcrafters.. it's a custom "one off" deal on an aluminum hood.

The problem is that the alum is so thin that it was a biatch to do withou warping.. would be better off with a steel hood.

The alum is nice for weight.. not so much for welding on.

Thanks Steve, yeah I have an original steel cowl hood that I wanted to fab up some kind of vents like this one.
