dhp123166 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I had an s-30 used hood in my garage. It was the one without vents. When I bumped my passenger door for sale, I mentioned I had a hood. A guy wanted the hood and offered to trade his vented hood (without vents natch) in addition to giving me the money I wanted. At first I was going to pass 'cause body parts can be hard to sell but then I had a change of heart and said okay. Two weeks ago the guy came up to get the hood; real good guy. We took his hood off, put mine on, and I gave him a door handle and passenger windshield wiper assembly that I had laying around, both that he needed. So then I had this real straight hood but with the two ventless holes. I thought let's see what I can make. I went to a metal supply in Oxnard and they gave me a little scrap of perforated steel. I cut them in the shape of vents, mounted them on the hood, and taped a 300zx hood badge on the hood as well. So now I had a "custom hood" I thought this looks cool let's see if I can sell it, not expecting anything. Lo and behold another gentleman saw the hood and we made a time to meet, he bought the hood bada bing and he handed me a crisp C-note. Here's where it gets fun; my wife was going away for a few hours with the baby, I have some free money, so the first thought that pops into my head is "CASINO". Three hours later I walk out with $1800 tax free dollars, and I do the right thing; $1000.00 into a bond for the new baby. Not a bad profit at all.
