Ok, as per a discussion we had last month about hoods and the functionality of them. I mentioned that I would photoshop the idea and finally I have. I can not post pics so if someone wouldnt mind, would someone post it for me. I dont think this hood would have any problems with rain, aside from the side the battery is on but the remedy for that would be simple and inexpensive. Whether custom fabrication or maybe encouraging a hood manufacturer to build this I suppose would be a majority opinion. Hope that made sense, its like 90 degrees in my office right now. Hope this belongs in UTH, sorry if not
