- Hey, that actually sounds like it would make more visual sense than the MGC hood did originally (what was the idea with that side-to-side chrome strip?). Since you're going to have to do a lot of fil

- Having raced & repaired Corvettes, I'd recommend the following: You simply lay the wet fiberglass on the clean roughened metal. Although, I would only do that as a last resort. If you are bonding met

- Interesting points, but... I assumed James was indeed going to duct the air from the scoop to the air cleaner. But I do not understand why you think this will raise underhood temperatures, since in a

- The flow of air through the rad is the most benificial. The flow is best when the "end" of the air run is at a low pressure. The higher the difference between rad entry and engine bay exit the better

- My understanding of the situation was that the scoop would injest cool air from outside and convey it directly to the carb intake, with the duct sealed from the engine bay. This being the case, the f
