So Rebel,how do remove the hood by yourself w/out something to grab on to cos I rely on me only w/that stuff. well you goinna have to make a friend coz there's no way i can remove the front clip by myself. my mum n law/wife/daughter or mate help me. maybe if i hadn't removed the grill i could have a handgrip but i was thinking aero when i modified mine, there's nothing to grip but lite enough to lift. i went cowl because of that reason you mentioned, i made my 6 pak taller & it tried to destroy the mounting points for the front clip. remember, mines made of bagged Kevlar, the whole thing weighs about the same as just a glass hood. if you made just a hood n cowl from carbon you could probably manage by yourself, just beware in windy conditions. i'm working on a carbon trunk & wing. just the trunk skin could be used as a kite. 7566886-522045_10150839270345011_584320010_12201592_387220397_n.jpg (106 downloads) Last edited by rebel; 01/30/13 05:12 AM.

Now I see that you have a removeable ft. clip so definately a two person deal there. So I wonder if I could hole saw a couple of holes in the middle of the cowl to lift it easier but not affect the inner workings of the scoop............. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

It seems the keys factors as has already been spoken is getting it in clean air and getting it sealed.

It is amazing what you can do with a 99 cent pie plate. 7567315-March62012033.JPG (120 downloads) '75 Plymouth Duster Phase I 451 906/590/2-660 10.75/126 Phase II 451 Stage VI/590/1050 9.82/135 Phase III 383 906/Victor-Pump gas 11.30/119 "For by grace you have been saved through faith.

I did put some foam around the pie plate to ensure it was making a good seal. I beleive the air bell helps also as it makes for a good transition into the carb. 7567316-March62012024.JPG (133 downloads) Last edited by clovis; 01/30/13 03:18 PM.
