I'm going to prototype up an aluminum hood for my 740t.
I had two questions: does anyone know a good source for the metal? Home Depot sells aluminum sheets, for instance, but they seem too thin. Should I just check into local metal supply stores?
Second, I was thinking about building the center section of the hood a little taller than stock and leaving an opening or small grille in the front to bring in cool air either for the intake itself or to route down over the turbo to cool off the engine compartment. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks, Sean
P.S.: anyone already done this mod? Anyone want one after I get it all figgered out?
