Hey guys,
As I mentioned in my resto thread, the PO of my V8 car made the vent cutouts in the wheel wells WAY to big, resulting in dangerous cracking. My body guy has just filled the holes back in, so we can start from scratch.  Several of you had mentioned the the current wisdom on these holes is that they can be much smaller and still get the job done. I did a search, but the huge number of possible search terms makes finding much of anything tricky. Soo. . . . if any of you could post some pics of what you have had success with, I would be grateful. I'll update my other thread, but he is nearing completion, and I am so excited, I can't stand it. I want to get the cutouts right, and get some paint on this beotch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Of course the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) part presumes that the freakin' snow will ever be gone, which seems iffy at this point. This is the view of my driveway this minute, and we are due to get a couple more inches tonight.  That's my 11 year old snowboarding on the 12 foot high snow banks in my drive |

here is an old picture of mine.... multiple 1.5" holes with chamfered edges.
Looks much better than chopping out a gaping hole in the wheel well IMHO.  |
