If you decide to put strings on your hood vent you might consider to make them long enough to extend past the rear hood edge. It seems to me that it's very possible that some of the heat/fumes from he engine compartment could get sucked down into the A/C-heater ducting/ventilation system.
Thanks

Thanks for trying this for me. Some have argued this but before I bought my 63 I read everything I could find about the development of various Corvettes and remember that the reason for eliminating the functional hood vents was that exiting underhood air and fumes would find it's way into the cabin. That's why the 63 was fitted with fake vents.
