Thank you. It looks way better in person now then it did. I have a ton of work I can do now. Looking forward to trying to make the front tubs like you did yours. might be tricky not being able to flip the car over though.

Hmmm... for sure that would be a challenge. Maybe prepreg carbon, vacuum bag it?

What I'm thinking is to make it in small sections and join them all together in the car so I don't have to fight gravity. It might be a little more time consuming though. My other option is expandable foam some how. Possibly foam blocks and get a rough shape then take it out and finish shaping it.
Saturday my racks were tied up so I used it more as an engineering kinda day to lay out some ideas and placement of things. With the fenders now lined up I double checked the alignment so I know my wheels are in the right place to be able to cut the fenders.
With that out of the way I built some mock up sized heat exchangers to see if they would fit where I want to put them. I'll have one 11x17 exchanger on each side of the car that will be ducked in the front and exhaust through the wheel wells. I also found a place to mount my front Infinity Box power cell.
I then moved into the dash to locate a spot for the Infinity Box inMotion cell that controls the windows and door latches. As I'm not using an air bag in the car it just so happen that the C6 dash passenger air bag bracket was a perfect spot for the module and I can access it by opening the glove box door all the way.
With that stuff handled I started to lay out some different hood vent options. This is two of the options. So far the 3 vent is the one I'm leaning towards and I have one more option using a 5th gen Camaro Vent (not pictured). Both 3 vent options will have the center rib removed from the front valance, hood, and wiper cowl. Kris Horton is working on updating my renders with the options so I can make a for sure decision.

I really dig this idea but from this angle it looks like the vents on the sides are forward of the center. If that's the case, it doesn't flow visually. Just my humble oppinion, which is worth nothing.

They are forward of the center vent. I already have holes cut for the anvil vents that I might not use and would need to cover with the new vents. The center vent is just behind the curve in the cowl on a flat spot.
Definitely the first option of those two options. It might help if the two rectangle vents weren't rectangle. Could you round the corners, or a corner? I'm just thinking it might look better if they complimented the center section better.
