NLXTACY
Wits' End
On the turbo test mule the hood needed to be removed so that I get some engine bay work done. Since the hood was out I figured it would be the ideal time to do a ful; refresh to it. The ONLY thing I didn't do to it is repaint it. Otherwise its a full refresh and modification. This is not a thread about vents and louvers, I'm not convinced its the right way to go so I won't be doing it to this truck.
All of the rubber was removed along with the liner, the one with the turbo exhaust burn
First step was to thoroughly clean the underside of the hood and then use a wax to get it to shine. Knew that the hood fluttered while driving so knew that the hood's sheet metal separated from the frame so first step was to order up some 3M seal sealer and then order THREE wrong applicators until I finally spring for the 3M applicator for $$$
Application was fairly easy. It was just using some plastic pry bars to slightly lift up the frame so that some of the seam sealer could be applied under the frame. Once applied the hood is turned over so that the sheet metal side is up and sets up in its natural state.
