Default another crazy mod idea from me...haha

so sooner or later when i go to paint my 76 i do plan on getting alot of new fiber glass parts.. has anyone thought of the idea to put the c5 zo6 rear brake cooling vent... (the black intake thing on the side skirt to cool the rear brakes).. anyone else think of that?.... so many ideas I have. I know I should try them.. I probobly will.. I just want to know befor I make a mistake if anyone else has already to save me some trouble... thanks

Mine will not look anything like the Z06 vent, but will be functional. I have already installed flares so it will be fairly easy to do. Also have duct ports in the front spoiler for front brake coolers.

Do you happen to have pictures on those ducts. Or what kind or ducts did you use in the front? I knew it probobly wouldnt look the same as a Zo6 but i think it would look good on a c3...thanks
