No pictures. Just cut Fj40 louver section and cut TJ hood section and weld. It's nothing special to see.
Anyone install hood vents?

Not everyone can weld sheet metal like that... It's always cool to share IMO... But I'm an attention whorre too...
You don't have to be a good welder. It's better to be a good grinder.
You have to weld all around and I use an air compressor to cool as I go,had to do a lot on my old roadrunner.but ya a grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t!
but I found a lot of use in the new 1/2 inch mini belt sander.
Some, ahhhh, trust issues there Ryno?
I’d like to see how the rest of the hood looks and that paint is something you don’t see every day.
Hopefully there’s no angry grill.
So why change? The poison spider looks really nice did the powdercoat finish fade or was there something you didnt like about it?
Original Powder coating started to fade, dent and chip after a few years, the raptor liner coat lasted a lot longer but started to chip a little a round the edges and rivets.
Thank you I was wondering cause the black crinkle looked bad assed. Almost bought one today cause your picture looked so good. Might check with my powder coat guy and see what's available that won't fade. Powder coat does chip.
The "crinkle" look was the raptor liner. think i sprayed it at 50psi to get that effect but can't remember, that was back in 2018
the standard powder coat it came with looked like this. fitted in 2016.

Actually, that's my Six Pack hood scoop I've been developing for my Hemi when finished, think old school Road Runner or Charger.
They're my linear actuated butterflies for fresh air.
A big hole in my hood's coming soon. lol
