I got past the rear axle last night. I am going to use an overlap and more bungee cord so i will have a slide joint that allows for vertical axle movement without disrupting the air flow. I also had to vent under the engine as the firewall was getting too hot and cooking my feet on a recent drive that was well over 100 degrees. the intake temp is now 15 to 40 degrees over the outside temperature depending on speed.
