Hey, Bill Wallace, if you're still watching this thread, how did you trim your hood? Also, did you allow for the engine tourque-twist and movement? I really hate to cut my pretty hood up. Paint job on this ride wasn't cheap! The 9" just seems to hit each side by about 1/4" so it kills me!
So does anybody have any suggestions how to open this hood opening with the least possible disturbance to said paint, scoop etc??
I know....probably just go with something shorter, but the motor really wants air!!
The other question is, the turkey pan was made so the filter would sit down in the pan, so the air directed to the carb from the hood scoop is sealed, thus giving the most cold air possible. To me, this renders the pan useless.

But, next to a dual quad, I really like the looks of the turkey pan, just awesome. I can't utilize one because it hits the front,... of my hood scoop. Other wise, I would have it. With this CRAP,...... life's a big turd !
