krustyballer16 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'm thinking about having some hood vents lasered out and then the "louvers", which won't really be louvers, just openings, punched out at work. But what I want everybody's opinion on is what's the best place in the hood bro put them? Like the triangle shaped ones that follow the hood supports on the inside. Or just square vents towards the front or rear? These openings won't be "directional" like a louver is. Pictures would be nice too. But I'm not looking for everyone's homebrew vents. Just positioning. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 with no true louvers, id be worried about excess water and electronics with a straight lasered panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I like them toward the rear with drip pans. :thumbsup: http://gojeep.willyshotrod.com/HowtoBonnetVents.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I think a rear strip made to replicate the cowl vents would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Not a very good picture but I was thinking about using this design. Ita Dixie chopper floor pan. I've got a bunch of rejected pieces. But it's 1/8" which I think is a little too thick. Probably try to punch it out in some 14 ga. or maybe thinner. I'm not worried about the trays on the inside of the hood. My xj that these are going on has been under water before and handled it all just fine.
