Mike:  What the heck year is that?  I thought it was a '53 Mercury from the hood and rear quarter lines, but the grill/parking lights are throwing me.  That's gonna be one cool lead sled when you're done.  

Dennis O'Brien (O'Brien Truckers hot rod parts) is a good friend but I'm slowly losing touch with my Hot Rod friends - they keep dying off...  

Gordon  it is a 54 chevy  Xtra teethe in the grill  frenched  head and tail lights and of course chopped.

Mine has a center grill .  I just found out I need to cut out the fiber glass below it .
Thanks for the reply.  Mike

Wha do you mean vented? There are holes on the inside to the left and right of the rain tray. Some folks have spent some cash on a replica carerra lid which has 4 or 5 louvers on each side, but those aren't standard.

Half moon has been cut.  All good.   Cut some 4 inch holes beneath the grill.  Running great.

Mike - Some also just use 4 rubber stand-off spacer washers to hold the engine lid away from the body - instead of a sealing rubber gasket.  This lets more air (and water!) in and out of the engine compartment. If you have a CMC/FF check that the 1/2 moon shaped piece was cut out of firewall just forward of the engine fan.
