Thinking of cutting some round holes in the front of my bonnet and possibly some over the radiator, my question is will it cause a floppy bonnet, as the metal work is so thin.....
no body wants a floppy bonnet!

I cut holes in the bonnet for air over intercooler flow and swaged them. was quite hard to do as you are swaging a curve. I had to mod the swaging tool and it took quite a bit of work to get the finish to a decent level
