Nice, will additional hood vents be available for purchase?
Yes - I’m going to have the shop I’m using make a bunch of extra’s.

Multimatic no longer offers the carbon fiber hood vents?

I'm glad I got mine when I did.Nope. No longer available.
I had to pay for the tooling to have one made so I might as well have a bunch made for the rest of us that still want them.

Great looking build, M1 Concourse is a beautiful track, i was there in the summer, What are you going to use to control the diff pump? thermostatic switch?
Will the cooler get enough air up against the floor?
Where those SS lines go through the body shell, it would be wise to provide more stabilization. Anything that can move will move, and even stainless can be cut through if it vibrates long enough. If I were doing it, I'd make the openings in the sheet metal a little larger and wrap the SS line with a short section of heater hose. The holes should be just the right size that the line is firmly gripped as it passes through the panel so it can't move. If it can't move, it can't wear.

I thought about rubber grommets, but they're soft and not particularly heatproof. Nylon bushings or SAE 30R rated fuel hose would be even better - tougher and more heat resistant - if you can find some, but it's hard to find in sizes larger than 1/2".Enlarging the hole in the floor and using rubber grommets would be best. Or the use of bulk head fittings.
Not to be judge mental I would of left the pump on the outside of the car.
1) air flow across the pump.
2) no hoses to fray.
3) no fluid transfer into the car.

The problem with bulkhead fittings is that they provide four more places that can leak.
