I've got an aftermarket front cooler that currently vents up through the hood. I want to change it to a more discreet set up to get past vintage tech.
Does anyone have access to photos of how the original GT's were done? I understand they blew out the bottom of the front trunk area through a louvered panel that created vacuum when in motion. I do have access to sheetmetal working equipment to build the shroud around the cooler. Cutting louvers is a bit of a different story - would prefer to buy that panel, but making it is not out of the question. I recall a segment of "Binky" where they punched louvers. Will never show so doesn't have to be pretty. My alternative is to fab a box with round vents ducted into the wheel wells. Thx. |

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, but I think it's something like this. This was a thread I started on a somewhat different topic, but member Cairo94507 posted a few pics to give me some ideas. The relevant part for you starts on POST 13 of the first thread.
Anyhow, take it for what it's worth....I'm sure he can answer any specifics on the setup. If you look on PAGE 70 of his build thread, on the second link below, it shows more details of the setup. Hope this helps. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=343084&hl= http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=313869 |
