weeeelllll these are just some pics of an idea i had an remember we are thinking outside the box here not the traditional look. so im gonna try to finish this before my next surgery a little before the 14th feed back always welcome here as well as ideas
very rough fabrication pics prepping to start fiberglass mold and some might notice the fender is cut in half already and recessed in a bit i will be fabricating a new version to go with the new hood which will tilt forward |

Ok somewhat like this viper's hood, except minus the bulge and scoop in the middle. Like if those louvered vents went uninterrupted from one side to the other. I'm my own questionable taste the center "spine" jumping over the large vent in the cylinderhead area is too high and out of place, and the vent itself is too large and open. So the best remedy IMO would be to remove or shorten(down to surrounding hood height, it shouldnt bulge up) the center spine/support jumping the vent and add large louvered vents to fill the giant hole in the hood(visually not aerodynamically). Maybe 3 to 6 seperate fins/louvers following the same curvature at the leading edge of the vent. If you desire the large open vent and distaste the louver idea, might I suggest using a screen or perforated material at the base of the vent(so applied from under the hood). This way you don't fill in the sexy curve of the vent but you block the engine compartment from view. I think exposing the engine will make the car seem less substantial and make the vent seem more unnecessary(no mystery of whether some monsterous machine is gulping air thru that hole). Id still recommend droping the center support/spine closer to the curvature of the rest of the hood line. Anyways I'm sorry to sound picky, it looks awesome so far and I envy you fabrication skills. |
