Thinking about slicing a slot on the front of my z28 hood
and have it resprayed to make a slot about [10] inches left to right about 3 inches up from hood opening and a slot to fit aletter thru, i think i could do with out much work just a perfect cut and straight. Hmmmmmm

I agree it shouldn't be too thick bc your working with a flat hood. It's gonna have to be perfect to look right. To short or too long will make it look funky. But I really want to see this done if I think of anything I'll report back. Wish I had my stock hood at my place I'd be making some marks and doing different measurements. That's what you should be doing. What I wonder us when you make the cuts the are going to be straight sharp cuts with no rolling in them.

Do it Ferrari 550 style like the '99 GTZ show car. See pics here:

This reminds me, I need to update that page with some of the better pictures I have found of that car.
