I think he means the exhaust as it goes up and over the IRS, it gets real close to the body and trunk pan which in the originals as made out of fiberglass.

Wonderful site for original info.

Maybe with a modern puller fan the results are different but this original car owned for many years by the same owner, wound up adding the scoop, turkey pan and oil cooler so the car would run right.

I agree the street cars are the best looking but after owning several British cars the cooling always seemed to be an issue so I went with a sccop and oil cooler. They did make some wide hipped street cars even though the narrow hipped look better.
