Hood Induction How to
5 Attachment(s)
- OK I did this to keep the 4.0 cooler which in fact after I was done. it did run around from 10 to 20 degree's cooler. This took me a day to do. First thing remove the hood from the vehicle.
- I used a metal disc to cut along the rim from the back to the front.
- Drill out the spot welds underneath the back of the hood were the panel is folded over the frame of the hood and then undo the fold with a flat tip screwdriver.
- I used a piece of wood to set the height and measured both sides at 1" and then made temp plates and then cut sheet metal and tacked it in. Attachment 15278
- When welding remember to keep it cool or else the hood will warp from the shrinking and look terrible. A wet rag helps or switch from one side to the other with each tack. I also made four small reinforcements for the hood vent shaped like a "H" and welded those it Attachment 15279
- Grind all the welds down
- I used short hair fiberglass filler to get a natural looked shape. Started sanding with 80 and worked to 180 wrapped around a piece of radiator hose. Attachment 15280
- Then used smooth flow putty to get the imperfections out. sanded with 500 and worked up higher till you barley see any scratches. Attachment 15281
- Primed it using black primer. and done till it gets final paint.Attachment 15282
