GT louvered front cooler vent, Need ideas to vent my front cooler Options

[Charles Freeborn]

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.

Exactly what Brant says. I’ll run with a couple vintage groups up here (PNW) who mostly want t car to look correct. Eventually I’ll have to address the box flares too. I’ll also run with ICSCC which is a regional body. They follow SCCA rules so we’ll see where it falls. It’ll be one of thu production classes or SPU.
What surprised me about it’s build is how lax some of the safety gear was. Cheapo plastic drag race fuel cell. No diagonals in the cage to name a few. Those are all going to be addressed.

Gotcha. Some vintage groups are a bit looser than SCCA. Did you run with any groups up there and get a temporary pass on the flares and hood vent? Or just re-class your car until those items are addressed?
