Well here are a few more photos.. after the hood rais and filling with foam to fill the gap.. I'm now waiting for the foam to cure before i trim it down to shape.. foaming is a long process takes a full day to sure before you can saw it up.. bot works very well..

The hood is raised about 2.5" total and a extension to fill the gap between the hood and windscreen was added.. I added as much as i coule with out disabling the use of the hood.. with the hood open on the factory hood stand its barely touching it.. i have though about adding some fringed flecable door seals or something to less en this gap more and allow use of the hood and wipers.. well see what MPG ratings are like first..

I drove it around after this hood rais and once the foan hardened up to a consistancey that was drivable and notice i was less into the throttle via my internal vacuum gauge that was added to the car .. seem to made a difference.





PS if the last day or so you were trying to view this thread and the photos were not there.. blame my 1 year old, he was "rewiring" and pulled the Ethernet from the web server.... Its now fixed... takes after his father I guess
