Custom Whip Finally Gonna Get Vented

[scorp11]

My good friend Donn had a hood that was good, but not so good I didn't mind cutting holes in it. Have to repair a couple spots, but after that is done, it is getting these.  A little more uniqueness.

None are perfect, but then again as they always say. . .  "it is good enough for a rider"

I like the Scorpion emblems. Are they Dubbs?

I used the same vent on my Whip hood, you can see in my avatar.
PO had cored out about 8 holes with a holesaw to vent the right side.
Picked up a vent, scribed and cut it in and added screen to the backside to keep some of the powder out.
Have had a lot of "Is that stock?" questions. have debated about doing the other side to match.

No, only the black is vinyl. Emblem is a 1968-70 ish. They aren't perfect but using what I got. Vinyl is actually one I hand marked and cut out of a nos decal like is on the top. Will take some pics once hood is cut out and things are finally together.

I am doing both sides right away. Have a gouge in the hood to cover on one side so a bit limited as to placement. Thought about a screen but this thing mostly sees trails so decided against it. Aligning it is a bit of a pain as nothing is straight. Looks crooked no matter how I place it.

I know what you mean, took forever to get spacing and alignment just right so it looked right.

I have been pretty much completely removed from this stuff since last year, but finally got some time to work on old sleds. I finally cut out the vents and installed everything. Thought I would share a few pics. 

Actually looks better in person.  I think it looks tougher now

I like how it turned out. Very interesting looking whip

The vinyl behind the emblem is a nice touch. Really makes them pop!
