Looks good! Are those the regular hex vents?
How was the cutting, other than the dremel death?

Yes they are the regular Hex Vents... If it looks like it will work, I'll be putting a second set wider out and a little bit further back, in the hopes of getting most of the air out from under the hood along the firewall... I'm not using the trays either... The biggest problem I had cutting them was the first blade I tried to use was too short, and it wasn't going through both layers of metal.... Other than that, no problem... The dremel death was kinda funny.... and man it made a big cloud of smoke...

I know they aren't necessarily for looks for you, but daaaang. I love seeing them! NICE!
I might put a set of those on the "list" of wants. |

And you are correct, looks never entered the equation... this is strictly a performance addition, though I freely admit they look great... Steve at Hex Vents did a great job with these..

Installing them was interesting. I think I would have been better off if I had watched the video... but I did the man thing.... so it was a revelation at each step.... but there is nothing hard about it... Just make sure the blades you use are long enough to reach through both layers of metal... That was the biggest problem I had...

So two packages arrived today at the shop while I was driving over here to Mississippi...
One was the fuel pump from Aeromotive... They replaced the entire motor and ungraded the inlet tube... The other box was the Weldon fuel pump and controller... Corey is already at work fabricating the items needed to mount this. He and Allan rewired the Lingenfelter dual pump system and put it back in the tank... Now we have to build a two gallon~~ fuel cell and install the Weldon on the outside of it and plumb it all together. Finish the parachute and the roll cage and we will be ready for the mile...

I'm sure you'll have a great pit crew. The mile is still on my bucket list.
But I still have to miss this one...:(
