What about louvres instead of side windows to vent the engine compartment?

If the louvre angle were correct they would not create a blind spot, or at least not much greater than the stock windows.

Only have a stock photo, mine will have gloss black powdercoated centers. It will probably be 3-4 weeks before I recieve the wheels, I do have my tires though, and can't wait to roast,ahem, break them in.

Clay,

Are you bringing the car to the Daytona show, end of March ?

It's a possibility, but I don't think it will be ready.

I like the clip, but there's always areas of improvement.

So far, so good and w/o any issues regardless of the weather condition- sun, rain, sleet, or snow. If it works for real exotics then we shouldn't have any issues.

Any word from Fierobobo while on the road (location)? Is he smiling from ear-to-ear?

haha you know there is a thin line between having fun and pure insanity.

Oh, he got home about 2:00 this afternoon (his time).

He said he enjoyed the trip & it would do 95 on an entrance ramp in 2nd gear or something like that.

He stayed over someplace in PA for about 6 hours, otherwise drove straight thru.

He said he got 22 or 23 MPG with the 5 speed.

He said he was going to go to sleep to catch up on his rest.

That what I get with my 383, the 6-speed, and a 750 Holley. Gotta love that transmission

How about a pic of the shoehorn you used to put that mother in!
