Payton King,
Very cool computer rendering! Who did it and which program did they use to generate it? I like the way the low profile cowl induction hood flows into the front header panel all the way through to the leading edge of the the car. Nice touch. I plan on doing custom parts very much like this next. I wanted to fill the market with the easiest and most popular parts first, then design some custom parts that are in keeping with the original car's design while adding a little spice as it were. The vents on the hood are very much what I had in mind, but a little further back on the hood right over the wheel arch. I've studied a little on arodynamics in race car applications and the air extractor vents on top of the body work (on closed wheel cars) are usually situated at the peak of the fender. There is a low pressure area there that sucks the air out from under the hood and neutralizes lift. I have a '96 Viper GTS and if you look at the vents on the Viper hood that is where they are located. I was thinking of air extractors on the side of the front fenders a' la Trans Am, but I think it might spoil the lines of the car and may not be as effective as the vents on the hood. I am also having my body shop weld the fender extensions on my '69 to the front valance to make it one piece so I can use it as a pattern inwhich to make a mold for CF parts. This could save a lot of weight while smoothing out the appearance at the same time. I am also working on a custom replacement for the front chin spoiler that extends wider than the stock one.
