Birth of the Blue Missile

Thanks for the encouragement guys it's been a very long and lonely journey so far.
Back to the build.
I was reading a cooling, or lack there of, thread and one of the posters suggested that some hood louvers which could be found on Jeep Cherokees might help by venting the engine compartment heat.
Well, since I have been looking for a solution for two small areas of oil canning either side of the hood scoop, That particular light bulb lit up!
What better way to get rid of the problem then to cut out the effected metal and put a vent in its place.The size of the louvers and the location that would be the design choice line up with the problem area so Batmobile it is.
I have also decided that I am going to have the cars paint job done in semi gloss with the exception of the blue stripes on the sides which will be polished out.
