Thanks Lynn,
That is very similar to my plans based on the structure under the hood. A drawing is attached. It's nice to know that Bob thinks this makes sense.

I had a hood with a very wrinkled skin due to an accident. The vents were cut out in the right spot, per Bob Byars (his guy did the work) and that happened to cover the damaged portion of the hood. Can’t find the pictures of my actual hood but I did find pictures of the car that was the inspiration. The pictures are huge so I know the list will strip them. Let me know if you get them Ken.

Hey Rod,
I had a problem with my hood where it made it easier to install large "GT40" style vents then to restore the hood to stock.
I too had to remove my light bar to make room but I love the look and the fit.
To make the lights function I ordered the following from Detroit speed. They demonstrated the product at SEMA and then I had to wait for them to finish the design and put it into production. http://www.detroitspeed.com/1963-1967-Corvette-Products/122006-headlight-door-kit.html
Kind of expensive but the engineering is incredible and it works VERY smooth. We are in the process of doing the final install. I had some custom brackets made so that they can be installed with or without the fenders on (my passenger fender is off and my driver fender is on).
By the way I am using Kirks kit that lowers the headlight buckets.
The mechanism does not require any limit switches as all of that works within the system based on load and resistance.
Great product.
If you are interested and would like to order a set of the brackets let me know. I do not sell them (my body and paint guy does) and I do not have a financial interest in them.
Hope that gives you options.
Lynn

Hi Rod,
My plan is to modify the area behind the radiator for a large vent. I'm taking out the light bar and will go to two motors or just clear covers, haven't decided yet.
I took some rough measurements and plan to move the front of the trunk to where the flat part of the floor ends. That gives me about 24 inches from the nose without losing much useful storage.
Kinda similar to what Gary did: http://www.rc-tech.net/pantera1/hood/hood15.jpg

Ken,
I have a 73L with factory vents and a spare solid hood against the wall
for you to measure should you choose to do so. I wanted a GT40 look.
The problem for me was the light bar located in the wrong spot for a
better opening. I even thought of having two bucket motors to
eliminate it.
Art had tried various designs on his hood taking pics as he went thru
the process. Check with him too.

Lynn,
Did you do much research on the pressure distribution over the hood
at high speed? Do you have photos of the modifications you made?
