Bond fiberglass to steel?

@Bitch'nBronco, is the white line I drew where the cut line is going to be? Trying to figure out how far toward the front the scoop is going to wind up. Anxious to see your finished product!

Randy,
Pretty much, I'm going to put a 2" tape line around the cowl and cut so I have a good sized flange to bond the cowl to the hood. I'm going to reuse the pieces I cut off to add structure to the cowl. As for how far forward, im not sure yet. Since the cowl is 4" tall at the back, I need to do some testing with opening the hood to see how far back I can go without hitting the windshield. I'm guessing it's going to start about 2" ahead of the factory hood bump.

More progress, im about as far as I can go without starting to glass stuff together. It's a rough draft but I think it's starting to shape up nicely. I love the view of the vent from inside the Bronco. Kind of wish the cowl was maybe an inch shorter but I don't feel like shortening it.

I like your Raptor influence. That's my daily as well and I used a Raptor Start button...I did have to design and 3d print a holder to make it work but your Raptor influence is a little more involved! Kudos on making it your own!

I haven't decided what I'm going to do with those yet. I may just fill them completely since I really don't use either of them. My heater gets fresh air from the cabin (permanent recirculate) and I don't use the fresh air vent. If its hot out, usually I have the top off anyway. The hood has to go to the body shop to get that rust spot fixed where the steel cracked a few years ago, and I may have them delete the vents while they're at it.
I wonder how the raptor vent would fit in the scoop on the proflow hood?? Mine has already been painted so I won't do it but it looks like there would be plenty of room unless the raptor vent is hella wide?
Was just curious about that. Could not really tell for sure and certain whether it could be cut to fit inside the vents. Pretty sure the hood could have a 4-6” section be cut out and put back together so the vents are cleared…BUT that’s way more work than I am willing to do. Lol
Look forward to seeing the completed hood.

If I didn't include the raptor vent, I would have been able to keep both the fresh air vents and this project would have been way easier lol. I was thinking about how I could section the cowl to shrink it down a bit to keep the hood vents, but I think I'm just going to fill them, you're right it would be a lot of extra work haha

Here are some measurements of just the vent, if you made your own mount for the vent I'll bet it would fit. I asked WH about the pro flow cowl width and they said 35"
If you cut up a raptor hood for it's mount, add about 3" to each side, the total width with the mount is 35.5ish"
