I remember seeing in Hot Rod magazine a while back about a guy who built a mid 50's plymouth road race car, he made vents that stuck out, if I recall correctly he cut up a metal cookie tray and attached it to his fender, so it stuck out the thickness of the cookie tray.
Don't be afraid to get creative.
Sure I have plenty of pictures of my El Camino, it is my first car, bought it before I even had my license, geeze, going on 7 years now! I don't want to hijack your thread so I'll just put up a few.
This was it mid-project
This was while I was replacing the floors and chasing down all the rust, then it was onto paint and body work leading to how it looks now.
