cheers fatboy

[Johns]

Funny how different things mean different things to people. What I really like about these old girls is the opening cowl vent.

Nice job Fatboy.

Cheers

Nice vanishing act Fat,

I find with the louvres and heat off the motor I dont use mine much, however down the freeway with more airflow, I usually crank the vent open.

Cheers

I'm with you guys, I love drivin' with the cowl vent open. After the FC there hasn't been one produced with a cowl vent, so i think my car is pretty unique.

[FATBOY]

cheers fatboy

re:vents and louvers, i have an FB with a V8 with a louvered bonnet with the wide vent opening on the FB i can tell you i don't need a heater, something i'm going to try when i bought the bonnet it had a sheet of flat fibreglass blocking some of the louvers to the rear of the bonnet i couldn't figure out why and now i think i know
