Just Brainstorming - Removing Fog Lights For...

Just brainstorming here, but is there anything nifty I can do with the fog lights? Such as another place for air to come in and cool the engine (not into the intake, I already have CAI), or as an air brake cooler? Someday after I'm done with my 70, I can make this car road race capable, where the brake cooler would come in hand.

Oh, and do I actually need them to be legal on the street?

I've thought about it, seems fairly easy to do too. I'm sure u could rig something up to allow the fog lights for street & than take them off and have the brake ducts for the track. Just some creativity & paticence.
Post some pics if you try it.

The opening behind the fog lamps is pretty much blocked by other structure.

Damn, thats too bad. I've seen it done to a 70 Camaro, thought I'd give it a shot.

Thanks.

Can this structure be cut? I have access to all sorts of tools, including plasma cutters.

I saw an episode of Muscle Car where they took the turn signals out of an el camino and did this very thing, directing air on both sides straight into K&N filters (daul CAI set-up). I would only do a single set up, the other whole would just be general fresh air cooling.
