my custom aluminum reverse airflow hood
Title is self explanatory. i was bored one day and decided i'd mess with my hood. got on CAD and drew up the plan. the next day went out and cut away and this is how it turned out after i painted it. o ya i left the rivets visable. im not sure how i like it with visable rivets, kind of gives it a aircraft appearance which is cool. pitch in your opinion if you'd like. i also have an engine bay pic thrown in from this winters progress. any questions ask

Neat car - Im assuming by the lack of TII hood and lack of sunroof that this was an N/A conversion?

no there were no mounting location modings heres a closer pic as you can see the gm alt has only 1 arm that connects to the coolant neck as opposed to the two that stock has. i have had no integrity problems like the alt breaking at the arm or any of that it seems very durable and sturdy

ill have to get back to you on that my father wired it and he is at the county fair right now. ill ask him and then let you know but it was very easy to wire just make sure you get the connector when you get the alternarot that goes with it. the rx conector to the rx alternator wont plug in ill let you kno more when the wiring guy gets back
