I want to cut holes in the hood of my Raider and put in vents. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />I don't want to go plowing through the junk yard. Would 4 1/2"x15" stainless steel <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />Jeep <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> vents work?

They might, however you may want to do a search for that (+hood +vent* maybe?). I recall a discussion thread a while back noting that you need to be careful where you install the vent because it could affect things negatively.

Username CapnCrunch. That ought to help your search.
Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

Funny, I'm looking for a street rod shop to set up the vents I want. I need the louvers cut in, I still have the idea in my head from Crunch last year

I remember the thread but darn if I can find it. I really like the vents on the Saleen 25th anniversary Mustang, but haven't found anything like them (unless I wanted to buy an entire Mustang hood). I did the local junk yard run a couple of years ago and couldn't find a LeBaron. I've got a body man that will do the cutting and installation, just need the right kind of vents to prevent rain problems. I avoid underwater excursions.

First off.... WHATTTTTTT..... two years away??? Welcome back! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Second- Username- PHIL He has done the hood vent thing, and been involved in many conversations about it. Funny thing, I was just thinking about this today. I now work as an aluminum fabricator, so I think I'm gonna make me one for over my turbo/battery.

Perfect. Thanks Crunch!
Yeap, I went back to work helping a friend open a small business. Finally took a vacation. I've been driving the Raider all week.
