    Looks great, I've always wondered why those weren't opened up to begin with. Good job!

    I had mine cut out on my 94 z. Take out the cowl/hood weather strip and it will help cooling in the summer

    Keep an eye on water infiltration. I ran without the cowl weather strip and the water ran in right over the PCM.

    Nice improvement! A bunch of years ago I had a 1982 Camaro. Chopped up a Z28 hood and connected the "scoop cover" to a vacuum valve to make them open and close. Found a pic of them in the open position, closed they looked stock...

    Looks good. That makes your car stand out I bet. Would be nice to see a picture of the front end of your ride to see how it changed the look. Your craftsmanship looks great. Thanks for sharing.
