Well, last week there was a discussion about pop up hoods.. (rear of hood being open) i'm sure we all remember. well i went to Home Depot today and purchased two 4"x2" aluminum plates, mesured it all out drilled the holes and was done in less than 30 min.

and the best part about it. they cost me $2.70

I drove the car afterwards to get it warmed up. after about 10 min of driving i took it down a LONG back road in my area... went up to 110 without signs of flutter or vibration coming from the hood... Trust me, i made sure i bolted that sucker down properly...

After i came home i noticed a large amount of air being pushed out from my E-fan. man alot of air comes out from there now.

On a side note i FOUND dry ice.. finally. i finished removing the tar in my chassis area.... after i removed it all i painted the interior chassis jet gloss black. very nice. i need to get some film in my camera so i can post some pics for you guys.


The hood thing... it's ok, i like the fact that ALOT of air is flowing thru there. it's only propped up about 1 inch or so at the trailing end.. so it's HARDly noticeable. i dunno, i'm sure i'll get tired of it and remove the mounts.. but it's just something to try for a while.. just to say "hey i tried that"

anyway, any critisicm/words of wisdom would be great.. thanks

Not much to say in this sort of thread, how long did it take you to get the rest of the tar out? Last time it was what, 7 hours for just the drivers side? You should take some pics of your mounts so other people can get an idea of how to design them

 

pics are coming.. the passenger side tar took about an hour with dry ice. 7 hours was for the drivers side with just a hammer and scraper. but like i said. pics will be here soon
