aight guys you know i am going to morocco soon and i have to finish up some stuff for some customers so i am busting ***** to get it all done and have all of these products done soon. Anyhow this is my final design, and I say final because I think this design is the one that I am most satified with so I will probably not make anything else. This hood is BlueTII's hood and i hope to have it done fairly shortly. These pics are taken with the balsa inside walls done and the vents just stuck in there to give you an idea of the vents.....i will get them fit perfectly and then i will hot glue them in and then fiberglass the back parts to secure them. Anyhow i think it being ten percent done just gives an idea of how cool this will look God willing --- Derek

PS.....yes I am one busy guy, and I might have a slight case of ADD. Maybe why i have to do ten things at once.

 

 

Looks great. How much are these ones going to run? Hood pins required? ROTARY PLAYA! lmfao

 

lool that is not me in that sig!! lool..anyhow ill make some more when i get back from morocco....449 prolly.....i might do a couple for 399....

 

Sweet!

 

that did look pretty good
um ...

 

I gotta say, that is a pretty good looking hood. Almost makes me forget the RE Amemiya one...

 

for the price...hell yeah...lemme get a couple more pics now that i finished getting the vents in and started on the outer parts...

 

Thats a nice hood. U planning on shipping to canada?

 

i could...lool she looks like she is missing a tooth in those pics...i almost have all the balsa work done.....just gotta clean it up and then glass over it....bondo and sand and primer and she will be done for the most part. I am going to get her all glassed up and then i will be doing the bondo and sanding on all three projects at once, the dash, the lip and the hood

 

Any chance of making the hood in CF instead of fiberglass?

 

 

Hmm, from an aesthetic standpoint I think it was better before you added the protruding bits on the top. From an aerodynamic standpoint, it was probably better that way too, because the front lip is going to disturb the air path and there won't be as much flow over the vents, which means less vaccuum there to suck the air out.

 

For comparison...

 

once it is smoothed out the re hood will actually be the most similar.....and with out the upper protrusions the vents wont be agressive enough unless i place them far enough back from the stock fan and then that means that almost in the middle of the hood further affecting the aestheticism of the whole thing...in the first pics the inner walls of the protrusions are there, you jusqt have to look for them to see them....

 

and actually if anything he lip will add more positive pressure underneath the vents as any air flowing over will be defleacted upwards...

 

damn the hood does look good / better than the RE
mad props to u dude

 

Yeah man, that and the lip look to me like the best things you've done to date. That hood is just evil-looking.

 

thats why i said final because I dont think ill be able to top this off unless i somehow screw up. And also to keep something in mind when looking at the scoot hood, is that the hood itself is a raised bump and that is how they maintain the flat area on top yet still having deep vents.....

 

finish this hood.. ill probally take one if it works out well..

you should work out a deal with fc3s.. ship them this hood and get them to make it on CF should be nice.. just charge them royalties.. unless you really good with cf.

 

I like the idea of the cf hood

 

That hood is sexy.

 

Your the man, I want to do something like that when I up my fabing skills Cant wait to see what it looks like done on the car.

 

are you taking orders for these hoods?

 

nope not now, but if you want one lemme know and i will keep you in mind. IF i get it done sometime mid week I would consider trying to get one done before i take off for six weeks
