Thanks for posting the picture Yan. We test fitted the hood vent in different locations and there are very few locations where there was enough underhood clearance to fit. A location further back behind the supports and the hood vents would hit the engine. Other testing that we did showed that this forward location is just where there is a low pressure area above the hood and the underhood higher pressure hot air would flow up and out the vent. Actually it works great as our testing showed it would.
As for this TEST hood, it was bought at the junk yard and cut with a scroll/jig saw. It was to check for clearances and function. The original hood is still intact and unmodified. My next version will be cut out with a 3" rotary cutoff disc and I will preserve the supports. Be happy that I painted it, I could have left it the beat up tan color. Now that would be a hack job.
