well, I broke down today and ordered the Renegade Hybrids radiator and hose kit, so now I'll have to cut a hole in my front '74 chrome bumper to get some air into the front trunk.....
sawzall seems like it would be too ragged and I don't think my air nibbler would be able to cut the metal due to it being too think |

Yes even in Texas the "smaller" openings work well. I,ve provided a pic of my other V8 car with rubber bumpers and an ultimate air dam. The cutout is hard to notice unless you get down low to look for it.
The key is to get the hot air out. Many folks try to vent through the floor or are nervous about cutting out the inner wheel wells. The best results are obtained by prviding a good sized cutout of the wheel wells for exhausting the air. David Lee Attached image(s) |
