1st Gen Venom Hood screens installed!!!

[Psycho Mythic]

I picked my hood up saturday from Eddie and worked today on making and installing some custom hood screens for it. Here are a few pics, when im done (tomorrow) ill post up in the DIY thread from start to finish and all the materials. By the way, this was EXTREMELY cheap to do, just have to take your time:rock:

I also painted the underside of the cut-out flat black so when its put back together you wont see the rough fiberglass through the vents

Kenny (terrible01)(maypop with the lil red 240 from the last PCB GTG) was helping me today, he's really good at this stuff too. Let me know what you guys think:marchmellow:

Yup, Stinker called it right. About $9 and and I only used half the pack. It's just gutter gaurd, galvanized so it should hold paint pretty well...

Hehe, well have to see . I think im gonna appriciate it alot more being that i did the screen mod myself:rock:

 

[eddie102870]

what did you use to hold the screens in

 

[terrible01]

hot glue gun to hold em in place while we used epoxy or fiberglass

Thats it, we formed them and held them in place with a dot glue gun, then used as 2 stage apoxy resin (made for fiberglass and metal) to seal them in place. We used actual fiberglass to hold the hood-scoop screen in.
