Hood Scoop, why would a want one? Well I am hoping to improve
the air flow across the radiator and A/C coils to help keep the engine
and the me cooler. I do not really have a problem keeping the engine
cool, but the A/C unit needs all the help it can get if you are driving
above 40 MPH. That's because the air flow across the hood at speeds
at and above 40 MPH pass the big grill on the hood. Remember, the
Hummer was not designed for great speed and the aerodynamics quality is
zero.
So here are a few photos of the hood scoop that when finished will be
made out of fiberglass. First we had to make a model/positive of
the hood scoop. Once this is done, a mold will be made, then, the final
hood scoop will be created. Once a mold is made, and I like it, it
will be easy to make more for other Hummer owners who would also like on.
This here is made from compressed wood, cut to shape, and covered with
bondo, and painted with a light color to help while getting the shape just
right.
