Just about the same as the Dax Rush option.

Basically a tapered large 'U' channel in place of the falt sheet normally fitted.

In most builds most of the hot air from the engine bay goes down the tunnel a well shaped diffuser could help draw more air through.

The MK panels can be inverted and cut to provide the effect youre after. Talk to them about it, and they should give you the information you need. Failing that, there are other Indy owners that have done the same.

Some in my www button below.i just let dad go mad with a hammer and some wood!also a big vent in my scuttle where the wipers mount.saw one at a show similar to your picture but more of a triangle than rectangle section that looked well,almost stealth bomber lines.i'd imagine it'd be easy to do too.
