Hey I was just taking your advice and combing thru the "junkyard"

one of my ideas was to get rid of the quarter window scoops and replace them with fuel and oil fillers since the car is running a dry sump in the back and a 35 gallon fuel cell that is so tall it can only be fed from the sail panel.
Since I've always one of the more iconic features on the fastback were its louvers I decided to try and add some. After playing with spacing, and the inclusion of the racing style filler that appeared on the Cobra, this is what I ended up with.
Now to figure out how to make a little stainless trim ring that matches with drip rail moldings...

I completely understand your build direction. Kinda like of you went back in time with the knowledge of today and built it with some parts of the past. Maybe that doesn't make sense.
You know what I think of your quarter window fillers already but to be official.
Mimicking the feel of the original louvers is a great idea.
Can't wait to see what you come up with for the stainless trim. To date the build is Blue Oval approved.
