92 z28 hood blisters...

Is there anyway to make the hood blisters functional without having any water or anything coming into the hood form the outside??

thanks alot guys

I dont think you could make it work without cuttin the hood but they would make good heat extractors.

I've done the mod to the blisters to make them functional.
I cut out the blisters and glued a screen in there, next I cut two holes very forward in the hood so any water would drain just aft of the radiator.
I have some pics op my site of the mods.
you'll have to look for them on the different Phot pages.
