    I like it too, and I think that it helps the heat dissipation issue quite a bit, by allowing the engine bay heat a way to escape, and not be trapped in the upper area of the hatch. Glenn Martin (Mt Airy "Mayberry", NC) did something similar with his car. He created a couple of "vents" in the bodywork next to the upper corners of the hatch that allowed heat to escape.





    The "Ferrari" design is the least "invasive" as far as my build goes. I can work on a 2nd hatch and not have to rework and repaint the entire body. But you can see in these pictures that Glenn had it figured out early on.

    Good to hear from you Buddy. Hope all is well.

    Some say, that I only know two facts about ducks, (both being wrong); and that if I could be bothered, I could solve the "da Vinci Code" in 47 seconds...
    All I know is that I'm called "The Stig".
