Hi Guys, A couple years ago we took a 914/Chev back to stock for a customer. I then decided to build a 283 powered car for myself. I would like to avoid the huge cutouts in the wheelhouse. has anyone mounted a fan on the trunk floor, possibly with the 2 fans already on the radiator? This would be great for an already AC cut trunk floor. I'd appreciate your input. Thanks! Brad

1. If you're ever caught out in the rain (assuming you live where rain can come up quickly and unexpectedly) the fenderwell holes will let a lot of dirty water be thrown up and into the trunk. Or you pull over and wait hours (or days) until the rain stops and things dry out. 2. The hood isn't structural, so if you hit anything there isn't much "crumple" potential left up there. 3. Doesn't Renegade cross brace the area under the headlights to eliminate headlight vibration when the wheel wells are cut out? 4. Would be nice to be able to carry something loose up there occasionally, without even having to consider if it might bounce out. And especially: 5. Avoid having to explain points 1 through 4 to every friend who sees the inside of your open trunk when the wheelwells are cut out. |
