Ok ok! Out came the angled grinder today again. It is a perfect spot for letting in enough cool air, will mount cone airfilters behind them left and right. Replacing the fuel filler will be an interesting problem though, where it is on a GTO is a bit low and will need sharp bents to go to the tank. The lower air inlets will go straight to and only to the intercoolers, will have to make alu ducting or something.
Another idea I have is to reinforce the fiberglass roof panel with 2 steel bars from front to back and a cross like this: lXl and reinforce the front and rear mounting points on the car so that the roof can be bolted on with a large allen bolt on each corner. Will take a bit longer to remove and install the panel but the car will be much stiffer with the panel on.

When finished, it will look like it has always been this way...
The original rubber seal fits in the round hole for the fuell filler neck. Already modified the fuel filler to reach the tank. Need to rob some japanese car from it's hardware for the fuel filler door, a hinge and a remote cable operated lock. The lever for the cable will be in the door post where the trunk lever is, it's only 50 cm distance.
