I carefully recorded the conditions and their effect on the car's operating temps.

Over a period of almost ten weeks in ambient temperature conditions ranging from the mid-80s to almost 100 degrees and highway drives ranging from 10 to 150 miles, the difference between conditions 1, 2 and 3 above were negligible.

Worst case, it doesn't work out and I'm out a few hundred bucks for parts and such. I'll just put the stock lid back on a plug it back up.

That said, this isn't about proving anything to anyone. I cut my teeth on street rods in the 60s and just think it would be fun to take a shot at creating a look that is a little different. I've found a local rod shop that's interested in working on the project so we'll see what happens.

Regards,
Terry
