I thought it would be neat and not too common to have a smoothie cowl panel (shave the vents). So I went to the junk yard and pulled one cause I don't want to ruin my stock one. I plan on using fiberglass and bondo. Anyways, why are the vents even there in the first place. I thought they were to stop water on the hood from blowing onto the windshield. My dad told me that it is a vent to circulate air through the cab. If my dad is right, and I shave the vents, will my air/heat work properly?
