I'm working on a similar idea but I'll have to control it I'm using the motor from a cordless drill so that there will be enough torque to control it at highway speed. Right now I'm attempting to figure out how to open each individual shutter one at a time but I'm thinking I may skip that and just have them all open together just to make it simpler. I have a drawing of my plans in my build thread and I'm planning to use plexiglass as the material.
