Hoodless would not look good on that HotRod, my two cents. Throwing out some things to evaluate, those rear fans could you install larger fans to give you more coverage of the radiator? Do the fans suck air from the bottom up, if so maybe consider reversing that air flow? How is the cooling route plumbed in, rear first cool and then front secondary ? Finally the inner finder wells will more then likely give the biggest bang for the buck, the boat air vent is a good idea. I would look around some to see what is out here that could vent larger areas

Reading Rogers post sounds like the bed area is a sealed box type of deal and the air is vented out the cover. I would think that you would need access to the ambient air for the rear to give better cooling.
