Hood clearance issues, time for a junkyard fix

[LS1GN]

The expansion/contraction rates of the differing materials is also the culprit. Its the same reason my stucco is cracking on the wood frame part of my house.

This is what I did with mine not wanting to cut an original aluminum hood. There's an SBC with an Air Gap intake and 4" filter under the hood.

Re: I am tired of sanding

thats looking real nice sir!!! you act like you know what you are doing... imo looks better than a conventional hood scoop (for its purpose)... keep up the good work

Cool idea bro looking good so far. Question the two hood body lines are they still gonna be there?

honestly, i'm holding judgement for the finished product. most of it looks kinda cheesy, though the last pic looks good. it all depends on the outcome--a random round bump i think will look like crap but in the last pic it looks more like the eclipse "bump"--straight, uniform, etc
i'm not tryin to drag you down or insult the effort or anything, but if i think it doesn't look right i HAVE to say so.
