Louvers and vents for the engine bay

[Ron Earp]

I'm looking for some louvers or vents for various parts of my RCR T70. I need to increase the amount of air flow through the rear clip and have identified a few areas that I wish to cut out:

*Front side of the wheel well to allow hot air from the oil cooler to escape
*Back side of the clip (see photo, the black areas to left and right of the muffler opening)
*The rear undertray - it is 1/4" ally and I think it could use a vent or two

So what sorts of vents do you guys have on your GT40 or other such mid-engine car? I'm not interested in anything that look period or "correct" unless it works. That one style of vent I've seen that looks like something that is on an AC unit or electrical appliance I'm not sure it has much open area. The Le Mans style too but I don't think they would look good on the T70.

I'm considering that honeycomb material and mounting that in a frame and securing it in place. I have the honeycomb mesh upfront to protect the radiator already.

You could mesh the entire tailight cut outs and attach the lights to the mesh. That would provide a fairly large area for the air to escape and not affect the body lines too much. There are heavier aluminum mesh,s that would do the job.

Whatever you decide on, make sure it's powder coated black.. o: Looks mean,
Don't want that beautiful car looking all girly and bling.
