My recollection of engine cooling discussions here is that the plastic
fender liners that many remove to simplify other repairs are designed to
not only stop water and debris from getting into the engine bay but to draw
air out of the engine compartment. I think it was Gene Fisher who
researched this. That said if you are going to cut the body and install the
“gills “ do it where it looks best because I’m not convinced that they will
make a big impact of cooling.
