This seems like an awful lot of work for little to no gain, is this a dedicated race car that will be running the 150mph+ classes at an Open Road Race?

My gut feeing is the opening needs to be moved back to reduce air pressure over the opening.  And that probably depends on speed.

  I really like the idea of boxing the trunk in your design.

  It means moving the support ribs for the hood.

  Can you enlarge the opening by starting closer to the radiator?

  I think photos of that car were posted a year ago?  I want the car to
  look like a Pantera, not a GT40.

  You should talk with Tony Ortiz in Arizona. He modified his Pantera to
  install front and rear GT40 clips.
