Louvered panels
 

I was thinking of adding these to the hood of my 64 GMC.
Mounting to the underside of the hood painted same red as truck with a thin polished aluminum trim ring on top.
Opinions accepted.

i think i would just have the hood louvered instead

It's your truck, do what you want and what makes you happy.

If it were mine, I would not do it. If your hood was not painted, or you have extra paint, I would do what xray said, have it louvered the correct way.

I can tell you that when I was looking for a truck, I passed up a lot of nice trucks because of poorly done mods.

No. Get the real deal. Or the bilit 67-69 Camaro square ones might look better.

Id pass... Looks kinda ghetto..

They look like floor heat registers.

I was thinking the same thing.

But it is your truck.

hilarious is first thought, but really kinda true, ghetto.

Re: Louvered panels
 

Just curious why do you want to add them for looks or are you having a problem with under hood temperature?

Re: Louvered panels
 

Thank you 66lsx
You seem to understand the look I am after.
Thanks for posting those photos.
I may have been pre-mature posting my original pictures.
The idea is to mimic the look of the Camaro vents with a narrow polished aluminum outer trim ring and rather then mesh on the inside go with the louvers.
The pictures I posted were just to show where I intended to place them, same as the early Camaros. They would be painted black or the same red as the hood.
I was planning on mounting the louvers to the underside of the hood with the trim ring lining the hole in the hoid, with no exposed fasteners.
I wasn't planning on attaching with duct tape, large bolts or bent over spikes.
WOW, tough crowd!!

Now if this was sticking thru the hood, you would have some thing :)
