How'd you handle the gaping hole under the cowl that feeds the HVAC blower? Pics?

I cut the raised section out to make it flush. I actually drilled out the spot welds then pulled it out. It also held on with sealant. Then I used a thin sheet of metal and bolted it it to the body while also using silicone to seal it from water. Going to go back and weld it shut one day. I believe I took pics. I'll see tonight when I get home.

Man, how'd you get in there to cut it without creating a huge mess with the electronics and whatnot that are right by the hole?

I need to cut it off, I'm just afraid I'll **** something up.

Unclip the plasti guard that's right there. This will crave a little more room. Not much but a enough. Use a air cutting saw. Can't go wrong.

on a side note, that shouldn't work, because the airflow release point on the hood is where there is a high pressure & turbulent zone in front of the windshield.

the low pressure is over the front of the hood or/and under the car . therefore the airflow will go mostly under of the car if you use that type of hood.
the hood vents has to be in the front of the hood up to the middle of it..

For mine, I just temporarily taped over the hole from both sides with some of that silver heat-reflective tape (same for the blower port on the upper passenger side). Not sure what I'll do later when I get back in there and gut the dash for good, etc.

Most in deed.

With a vent as pictured in my original post on a car. What does it do from your stand point?

Stolen...lol

This is what I will be doing with my door windows. Scroll down to post #55

That looks like a pretty awesome way to handle the door window issue, yeah :)

Back on the hood stuff, so has anyone really figured out the best position for hood venting for cooling? A pair of vents on the sides but closer to the front? Basically just to the outside of the stock power steering pump and AC compressor locations?

Also need photos of what you did to the hard cooling lines and whatnot. ;)

Not done yet. But I made it simple buy cutting the hardline several inches from where it leaves the block. Block off the small port and will be extending the bigger port with heater hose up and away form the manifold with heat wrap also.

Just take the doors off and go Commando!!!!!!

That's my final plan. Then attach a 50cal
