I added some vents to try to replace the air-flow that I stole with the lightbar. Not had any heat issues with DRLs out and the hood vents, but more has to be better.

I made my bumper fit last week on the Mad Fiat. Fixed a busted FMIC hose on the Mad Fiat. ... Changed oil in the Mad Fiat. ... spilled a quart of it on the ground when the pan drain plug rolled into the drain hole on the oil change jug thingy.... Ordered more random parts I can't afford ... can't afford to fix AC right now because I spent money on other parts.

The T is running same as always, great up to 80% throttle then a big F You if I try to go full pull.

I am working on a hood that I picked from our Pull a Part for $60.
This will be my Car Show / Cars & Coffee / Rally hood, as it's not ideal for daily use.
Need to get the cuts cleaned up & get it in the spray booth. Then the vents will go in.
I really like the Abarth NACA duct but the usual heat extractor vent doesn't do it for me.

Will be interesting to see what vents you chose. The little square extractors are practical but not terribly exciting.

I am working on custom metal vents - I hope to have it mocked up by this weekend.

What’s wrong with the AC? Condenser?
