Heres my attempt and creating a hood not available from any of the vendors. Its designed to provide a path for the air entering through the radiator to easily exit up and over the engine. It was a ton of hours, very messy and I will probably never attempt it again...;D

Started with an old K Bar S hood

Some kids project foam board

Sliced up some louvers

Epoxied to the old hood

Sanded, filled and formed for hours and hours

I was trying to figure out what those T shaped holes were for! That is awesome! Shock mounts right through the hood. I think this is my favorite hood ever....

This is a fiberglass hood from Rocky Roads. It was just a shell, no reinforcement, intended to be a pin on. With help from my fiberglass master friend, we reinforced it, added the stock metal support with latch from an original hood and made it bolt on and latch like a stock hood.
