I also finished the radiator shroud to keep high pressure from forming under the front trunk while at speed. The air is forced into the radiator and then pushed out the bottom where the spare tire well used to be. As for the engine bay, I wanted to make it look cleaner so I thought of putting a "shroud" like the engine tin on the original engines. I was able to use the grooves already in the car to secure the 1/16" aluminum sheet used. It also acts as a heat shield from the headers, located directly under the intake manifold.

Good work Gabe...looking forward to meeting you and seeing your car.

I want to encourage you to vent the radiator out the wheel wells and not under the car.

1) Air under the car is not good for high speed stability.
2) On a dirt road or driveway at lower speeds, as the fans kick on, a cloud of dust will encapsulate your car.
3) Radiator hot air is still cooler than the heat coming from the brakes.

#2 really sucks when the top is off and the windows are down... Ask me how I know... dry.gif

I second that suggestion...even better through the hood but that's not to everyone's liking.
