Wow thats an awesome idea!! i will do that i will post a pic of what i came up with so far, i didnt actually cut the hood yet, but i did outline where the blower is with measureing from the fenders at several areas and then measuring from the cowl where the hood closes and then measuring from the very front of where the hood closes to the front of the blower pully and then the front of the blower body. im gonna do the cardboard thing though thats a really really good idea, now i just need to find a piece of cardboard thats gonna fit the size of this damn hood
