5 exciting new HORNEY pics to whack with.

[rept@qwest.net (Mike Blain)]

Scott, your in the unique position to actually be able to visualize a 
ram air route. Is it possible to place scoops behind the headlamps
(each horn with it's own lamp based scoop) to force in air? Maybe w/ a 
little custom forward plastics?
I sure wish i could see the fitments.
