Funny thing, when I did a google search to find a pic of one of these Vettes' radiator inlet... the best pic I found was part of an Ecomodder thread:

Ah. I see. I'll redesign, and post updated photos.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. THIS is why I believe in community involvement on any project.
