I have a 1967 Firebird with a 400. I have the parts to install the underhood ram air set up but I' m in need of some guidance in cutting the under hood bracing to install the upper pan. I have the factory parts illustrations showing the bracing but it refers to a template. Is there a template out there I could use? If not, how did you guys measure for the cut? I absolutely don't want to make a mistake cutting on the hood. Thank you for any help.

All you really need to do is lay the pan over the hood in correct position, and it will be fairly obvious what needs to be trimmed for it to sit flush. I believe there are two portions of the lower hood frame that needs to be trimmed. I trimmed a little as I went and kept checking for fit as I went.

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

I have an original RAM air hood I can take some pics next time I head to the body shop if you want. The ram air pan is off so it would be easy to see how they installed from the factory. Let me know if that would help

I have a few pics. You may have to go directly to the album if this doesn't show up or try the chrome addon fix.
