      • Updates a plenty

        Hood exit surround, rough cut of whats coming


        Kind just cutting away and playing with a few ideas




        Softening the edges






        Cutting some slots


        Shoved a light under the hood to illuminate the section that will be cut


        Not fully cut apart yet, needed to mark out where the hole in the hood was located relative to the hood exit surround






        Laying out the rivet holes for attaching to the hood


        Insert holes


        Cleco time for test fitting!


        Now to cut apart






        Coming along nicely


        This is one of my favorite types of projects, no real rule book to making a hood exit "shield" you can just run with it and make damn near anything you want

        I was kinda going for a gear shape look but its more in the sun flower spectrum I think not my original intention but I like it either way

        Going to leave it here, later
