and the WIP of them again
laying out the templates(measure 5 times cut once
)...
Looks about right!
Forgot to take some pics of the cutting, have to jump to test fitting, Was very patient with the dremel and rasps and files...
First vent in,
Second vent went about twice as fast...

Yes Chris they are one offs. More, starting back in post #715
-do a illustrated concept in photoshop
-Mock up some apoxie to capture the correct surface that Im using
-document where exactly the surface has been taken from(dimensions from existing landmark features on the hood)
-scan that surface in(digitally recreate it)
-desgin and model up a form using scan as reference data
-refine, refine,refine
-save off appropriate files
-print 3d models
-create templates on hood based off reference photos(previous measurements taken)
-cut out holes for the vents
-dry fit, and refine holes
-finish, sand and prep vents for paint
-dry fit again
-paint
-dry fit again
-insert and apoxie in place
Id say this particular job too about 3-4 to capture and scan the data, about 5 hours to model(vent went fast mesh was a long tedeous process), a couple hours to print, 3-4 hours to prep and sand, a couple hours to cut out holes, and a few more to install. right under the 20hr mark from conception to finish(over the course of a couple week period)
