When you are finished on the hood could you post pics of the underside with the supports. I made a 2 tier hood with my stock hood and am looking for a better way to support the middle of the hood

Thanks Drew

Thanks mine is all steel. The reason I ask is my total cal is about 3" and i had to take all the stock supports out for the 2 tiers. I have it all painted now so I cant really weld on it anymore. But i did put some louvers in the back piece of steel. I dont know if that causes problems with pressure areas but it looks good

Wow, that actually looks really good. I'll have to make final judgment once it's done and on your car, but right now I'd say it looks better than a lot of the store-bought hoods. Great work.

BTW, it's called a NACA duct- the scoop you're thinking about doing. It was actually developed by the government division that eventually became NASA, and has found its way into a lot of airplane and race car designs, and of course the early Mach 1s.

NACA duct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a secret fantasy of putting one in the front passenger side fender near where the air filter sits. Well, I guess it's not a secret anymore. Anyway, I've seen one other Fox with that, and it totally blew me away. I think it's a really freaking cool idea.

That hood looks great, man. Congratulations on thinking outside the box and making what 99.9% of people just go out and buy. Looking forward to seeing it finished!

It looks a lot like an SN95 cowl. I like it. Can't wait to see the finished product.
