    Heat in the car ?

    Was just wondering if there might be any interest in a kit that would allow the builder to glass in an original looking cowl vent ?

    sign me up. Although the AC works great with the windows up, you still get fresh air in the cockpit while driving with the windows down or the top off. Count me in for a kit.

    Yes, that might be interesting. Do you have a sketch of what this would look like?

    Also, are you still working on the new hood latch system? I'm holding off working on that part of the car until I see your idea and what space is required and where...

    Here's an example of a 34 with the cowl vent.
    This would be great to get some air into the foot area of the 33s. Man, I hope Tim can figure out how to make it so we could open and close it from inside. Go get 'em, TIM.

    Hinge will still pivot from the front but will go straight up instead of forward and up.
