Default How stupid??

My friend recently suggested to me that i put the shelby side scoops on my '68 coupe. Ya kno the ones that mounted up where the quarter emblems go. I dunno how this would look on a coupe, what do you guys think.

I have them on mine, the owner before me had them done, I think they look pretty good. I plan to run the ductwork to the rear brakes someday.

I think he's talking about the scoops mounted up above the rear qtr. on the c pillar (the fastback slope). I'd say no way on a coupe, but the side scoop behind the door as the others have mentioned looks good.

I would say that if you want a way to cool the brakes such as why Carroll had them added, then they not only look good, but are functional as well.

oh goodness, yes, the ones behind the doors. Not the one on the slope. That would just look awful.

Soaring, I don't think on 68 that the scoops were functional anymore anyway. They were just for looks.
