Anyone still make one?, I was looking last year and remember finding some, bur this year I'm coming up dry. I would like to buy 1 instead of hack and chop.
Thanks...

I'm almost positive there's no one making them anymore, I was looking for one for a while myself.

I'm diggin that hood! I'd go through and cut out all those holes and make them functional as ventilation!

I don't like fiberglass fenders they don't last long around here they crack. That is why I'm trying to build some but I'm looking at a lighter hood to help lighten up the front. may need with steel fenders HD front bumper winch every little helps save front end parts.

I'm looking for function more than anything else, get rid of some of that heat.

The best thing for getting rid of heat is vents in the front of the hood, one on each side. It will increase cooling at highway speeds too in that position

might have to hack and chop, I'm not spending $500 to 1000 on a hood right now

Get creative, mark out some holes, grab the grinder, and cut the holes out. You can get a wire mesh at most parts stores. Weld or glue it underneath and you have yourself a great vent.

Heres what I think I'm going to go with. Between the new radiator, electric fans and this, I don't think I can go wrong.
