yes i,m quite aware that PX,s have no vents in the panels ,but on a PX the panels sit higher up in relation to the engine anyway and the flywheel is open to fresh air from roughly the flywheel nut down.
not only do these old vespas have deeper panels as std but on this one especially as they have been modified to sit even lower ..!! so hence my maybe not so daft question about cooling :lol:

its quite possible that they maybe gonna press some vents /louvres into the panel .
but whatever,I think this is a great job and its gonna look really nice.,looking forward to seeing this come on .
well done. :D

Love the look of the early Vespa's too. Also a big fan of the Kustom style. Looking forward to seeing this progress. Some great fab work already done.
