Jimmy, I know this. I want hood vents for the reasons you listed. So when I mention them later, don't have a coronary.

You have to see WHY he wanted to do it....I am not at all against hood vents...lol....but he said he wanted to do it because it runs warm.....wrong reason, and will not give you the desired effect...that is all.

I only throw conniptions on people who stand me up when I spent money on supplies to hang out and get some work done while drinking outstanding beer.

Good thing, that never happens....

I think the problem is they're young and green, and they finished too quickly, leaving their opponents to take care of themselves.
