dasbulliwagen Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Different How???? You mean the guys with the cowl inductions, or the ones with the grilles cut in them??? Stickers???? Just seems like a funny question... no offense. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I think he's just looking for a thread where members can peruse different ideas for hood functionality and design. Lord know we've got them for bumpers and tires and such. :yes: And it seems Geonovast was kind enough to show us some stock hoods for comparison. :D Here's my slightly modified stock hood. Hood pins (after the factory latch system died), handles for lifting the hood up, a booty-fab hood lift strut (don't ask what the strut came from, I don't know), and the hand-formed "hood scoop" that is actually the vent for the pusher fan below that sucks the hot air out of the engine bay.

project88mj Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 wait so :hmm: the air is forced in to the engine bay by air coming in to the scoop form out side? or is the air pushed out of the engine bay by a fan pushing air out through the hood scoop :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, with the truck at highway speeds and the fan turned off, air still moves out of the engine bay through the scoop. It's opposite of what you might think. And I got the strut (singular) from the store. They just don't list what strut goes to what car or van. I bought a bunch and returned the ones that didn't work.

Ohhhh you only have one strut holding your hood?? Nice I didnt even think of only putting one on a side.. I always thought you needed two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotblake Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The first picture is what it used to lool like, the following are after I cut the center section and added sheetmetal to the sides. I haven't personally seen it done this way before so I thought I'd give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpackjeeper Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 while browsing through west marine the other day (needed some quality rope to make some dog toys with) I saw where they have some kits to put those struts on anything. Come with two tab mounts and the strut. I think it was $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
