Hail cars really coming along. I'm enjoying the thread.
Will your bonnet GT40 style look a little like this????

I am from Europe and was more in line with "Hail Caesar" "Hail 427Cobra`s" but being in oz
most of my life its kinda like a double meaning "hi y'all" "Hail 427"

So what is the theory behind that gt40 scoop anyway? Presume it draughts the air straight out after passing through the radiator, but won't the engine bay itself get a bit hot? I thought these cobras originally suffered heating problems brought on from a small nose and large engine, (well larger than originally anticipated) so dragging the airflow out before it reaches the engine seems wrong to me.
Anyone - feel free to educate me!

Guye at track speed a scoop just adds to it wanting to rip your bonnet off!!! I've got 6 100mm hole saw cuts in mine and it stills wants to bend like a banana. The cobra in my previous pick has a reverse scoop so the hot air sucks out rather than forward face and compress air in the bay.
I saw ozvenoms bonnet come off at speed at QR a few years ago. Must have gone 30 feet in the air!!!! At legal road speed it wouldn't be an issue.

If you go to Spook's gallery there is a yellow car there......I think that might be the one he is referring to

It's still not happening Spook.
I'm having the same trouble with Flickr. I was used to the old system but they've changed it and I now have to use the "Preview post" tag to make sure the picture is going to show before I post .
In any case, you're building the suspense.

I can't work it out. I preview posted it and can see it and I've just looked without signing in and it's here too. I'm giving up.

Hi guye, sorry about late and mixed replies, theory behind GT40 scoop I would be using the cobra at HWY speeds and traffic so the more air through the radiator the better, and there is enough venting to tap into and fit ducting in and around shroud I don't think it would be an issue, Craig is working it out and I know his standards, some pics with the front vents, thx for you interest and comments.
Regards,
