Fender Vents?
Has anyone ever heard of or tried to fab up some vents into the side of the front fenders just in front of the door like on the older vettes? I thought it might be neat to make some with a motorized door behind em, so when i switch my fan on the vents open. Just an idea, thanks for any input.

Re: Fender Vents?
Like the stock Pontiac vents, in this car? They aren't functional, but they'd be a good start, as a housing, to put opening/closing doors inside of.

Oh, awesome. I didn't know they came with those. Yeah, something along those lines.

All Pontiacs came that way, except the GTAs. GTAs were smoothed out, and didn't get the vents.

Well cool. Thanks fellas. If I ever have the tools and time for that kind of bodywork I know where to start.

Re: Fender Vents?
Are the fenders between Firebirds and Camaro's swappable?

Re: Fender Vents?
Well, since Camaros never got them, and Pontiac fender won't fit a Camaro (the roof line is wrong), they won't simply bolt on. You'd hafta cut out the hole in a Camaro fender, fab the mounting tabs, THEN they'll bolt in.
