I'll take some pics after getting the car back. The tech definitely cleaned it up nicely.

The base of the windshield is a high pressure area. That's why the old cowl induction hoods, the L88 hoods, the Z28 hoods and the Trans Am hoods, just to name a few, all had their cold air intakes there. Using that high pressure area to push cold air into the carb. If you're thinking of using that area to vent a hood to release heat. It won't work.
