    Tip
    Unless it’s a track only car you will want to basically close off those fender vents.
    As cool as they look they’re an absolute nightmare on road cars especially in the wet with an open cockpit.
    At the very least you should fit a deflection shield to duct the road grim away from them so it doesn’t spray out.
    BUT
    It’s looking really good 👍
    Another tip
    The ordinary masking tape it is really terrible for fine work and the glue is horrible to get off if it’s left on for more than a few days.
    So it pays to use the expensive coloured stuff as it bends better, removes easier and the glue usually doesn’t turn into stone.

    You could use a straight edge and wood router to machine the front clam to recess the wheel-well vents

    • @johngreen8693
      @johngreen8693 22 дні тому +1

      Yes, but there are complex curves on the bodywork. I'd have done the same as Dan!

    • @ashleyharvey6
      @ashleyharvey6 22 дні тому

      Yes that’s why the straight edge needs to be something like plastic ruler…so it flexes while still guiding the router

  • @ultimaevo77
    @ultimaevo77 23 дні тому

    Car is looking amazing but you need to get those vents recessed, they look so much better when they are. Use a Dremel sanding bit and take your time.

  • @bassandhotrods8299
    @bassandhotrods8299 27 днів тому +2

    Wise not recessing. I know all too well the "pucker" moments. On my Hurricane Cobra I angled the dash slightly to mount a heater (mounted center so I could use a glove box) so now I have to trim the cowl very slightly.

    Love the carbon on black! Would you be able to swap the low beams for HID projectors? I don't mind LED, but I'm a sucker for good ol Xenon.

      Great question! But this is how they came from the factory. I suppose I could swap them on the brackets as I believe they are identical diameter. 🤷‍♂️

    What do you think about under mount fender vents?

    • @DanDulac
      @DanDulac  26 днів тому

      That could work. But I’d have to figure how to ‘finish’ the edges of the square hole so it blends with the bodywork. The vents I used are designed to sit on top but I have seen aluminum vents that could be mounted from below.
