Bob, Unless you want"the Look" just drill out inside of car put two 12V fans
in .When you are stopped you can feel the heat coming out of engine bay.I
had mine in for about 8 years & they work great.There are at least two sixes
of vents.The Cobra vents being the larger of the two(one more vein)The Cobra
vents are alum. & the smaller vents that I have had are metal.Joe S.

paint, I am toying with the idea of installing LAT side vents.

the firewall behind the selenoid and run a closed tube to the vent behind
the kickplate in order to prevent water pooling inside the fender and behind
the interior kick plate.

giving an exit at a very hot spot. If Wheatley or Traction Masters were
doing this in 1967 though, what would they have done.

those vents are pulling from, if anything.
