Screen in air scoop of a 1923 Hudson

Does anyone know how to secure a screen in the air scoop of a 1923 Hudson.

It does not look like there was one as original equipment as I find no evidence of one.

You could use flexible fabric mosquito netting, etc. over outlets(if hidden) in interior or in interior hoses. I do not know what all ducting looks like but surely that would work and keep out bumble bees, etc !! I surely wouldn't want a bumble bee coming in with me either. Stay safe~~~~

You might look at screen door material.  It is available both plastic and metal.  Fine brass screen is also available and could be soldered to a small frame to fit in the opening

My 28 Essex has a similar ventilation scoop which is often open. I've never had an insect intrusion over many years of driving. Are you anticipating a hypothetical problem which won't occur?

I live in Louisiana this is where we grow insects.....all kinds, all year around.

I do have a fine screen material I got from Restoration Supply but thought maybe someone had a novel way to attach it.  I like the idea of making a small frame.
