How did you make those? They all look very professional.

Nthang:

How do your air scoops and louvred decklid work? Are you seeing cooler temps.?

I am very interested in this idea and may even contact your guys in TX.

Thanks,

I went to the SAMBA site and saw a red 73 and green 74 but never did see any scoops or modified "pontoons". Can you give me a hint I am a little slow.

Oh yes I saw that car before. Pretty radical and cool. So does it help keep the engine cooler.

I thought of doing the pontoons like a boat system. One side would be an intake scoop facing forward and the other facing the rear letting air out.

The rear facing scoop would act as a scavenger and "suck" the air out of the engine compartment. It would help ram in more air from the forward scoop.
