With ducting from a lip under the front end, I hope to have enough airflow to keep things cool at speed. I'm also going to have a spring loaded section of the lip that pops down to gather more air as the air pressure builds up on it. And finally, I have 3 8" electric fans for stop and go traffic.

From the looks of it, you'll have some cooling issues to get squared away too! Great work.

Thanks.

I have in mind something similar but unfortunately here in mexico nobody make an aluminium radiator.

I have to import from USA but the taxes and shipping are killingme.


Dou you have pictures of your front end?
