Default hood vent material info

hey guys, not sure if anyone would be interested, but I have some the grating that I used for my hood vents. Honest to God, it's out of an F-18 engine so it's not easy to come by. But, I know I don't need it, and if anyone would like it, I have a sheet of it that you could use if you want.

here's a link to the thread showing some pics and the diagram I used to cut the holes:

I was thinking more along the lines of making an entire hood out of the stuff. Oh wait I guess there might as well be no hood at all then huh? lol

I would absolutely love to have some of that material. The fact that it comes from an F-18 makes it pretty badass.

Got a buddy who used to be in the marines as an engine builder for the f-18's. I think it's 2'x4'. maybe a little smaller.
