56 Vette Road Racer Update

[mfain]

I was so fired up about watching the Lateral G guys at Optima that I decided I better get moving on my project. Here is a small update. Sorry for the poor quality of the construction shots. I added side vents to the car to accomodate exit air for the oil cooler (left side)and to pull air from the engine bay and the dry sump tank area (right side). High pressure air is drawn from in front of the radiator, through the under-hood scoop, into an air box/diffuser that is built into the left fenderwell panel, and through the oil cooler (mounted behind the left front tire) -- then the air is extracted out the side scoop. Building this set-up was a lot of work, but I wanted to get as much weight as far back as I could and to shorten and straighten the oil lines as much as possible.
