Hello Gary; The hood design of the GT40 was twofold "1" being the venting of hot air & "2" the air passing through the cut-away/scoop/vent also added down force to the frontend at speed...Markquote:Originally posted by comp2:
I made more then minor changes to duct my air out of the hood. I have more of a GT-40 style hood but tried to make it not look like a GT-40.
Reasoning was more then cooling. In a traditional Pantera the air going through the radiator then exits under the car. I have closed all these exits and not the air exits above the car. This evacuates much of the air which would have been pushed under the car.
