So recently I bought a second stock firebird hood due to my original getting rittled by dents via acorns.
I am considering doing the needed body work and then cutting some air slots and filling them with perforated aluminum.

my advice, don't do it. you open the door to all manner of paint problems. my hood has been repainted i think six times.

there are several bubbles in the paint as well as cracks
