VERY NICE WORK Gary!!!...I too am also considering louvering/venting the tops of my front fenders akin to the Porsche Slant Nose design...quote:Originally posted by comp2:quote:Originally posted by 1Rocketship: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...Mark
That was the idea. I angled back the duct as much as I could to smooth out air flow. Add bar to replace what I took out but the duct itself is also structural.
I did not want it to look like it was a GT-40 copy so I set it up with a screen. Should I get into a position where I need more cooling I also set it up where the front portion could be bolted with more venting.
The hood was form scratch of course.

Do you have any close up photos of your fender louvering/venting Gary?
What machining/fabricating process did you utilize to achieve the louvering?
Thanks!!!...Mark
