Thanks man!

I drilled the holes first using a hole saw.
Then I used dimple dies on a 40 ton press. 3 sizes. 1",1/1/2",2" holes. Then off to paint.

Dammit man, they gotta pull some hoes, Not as much as the black hood pins though. I gotta get me some of them!

I do. But it's not finished yet though, so I don't want it to look all busted up and sh*t, LOL.

It's gonna be a cross between a Jeepspeed racer and trail machine.

Your hood looks great! Did you just use a flat black or is it just covered in a good bit of dust and what not? How's the venting also?

Here's my hood i'm hopefully getting around to bolting on and then finishing prep/paint work.

We sprayed it with etching primer then flat black in a booth of sorts. Yes, covered in dust. I'm a boulderer first then Jeep fanatic second. So this time of year my Jeep gets no attention, thus the dust. Haven't tried it out yet to know how the vents work. Maybe sometime around Easter I'll work on it again. I'll let you know. Thanks man!!

Bringing back a dinosaur. Any feedback on how well this works or doesn't work? I'm planning on doing this to my hood.

After you install a front drive shaft, I hope..
