Yeah, when I trim the one slat it'll move really really easy since its so light. I guess the only concern would be snow/ice build up AND the need to open the slats... Not really a normal occurance but it could happen. In that case my grill blocks do have enough room around them to allow the radiator fan to pull air through.

I suspect you will be posting the code?
You betcha. That is kind of the next step. I have the code written. I want to get things wired up and the actuator attached to the grill block to make sure everything is working before its put on the car. I'll probably shoot some video showing it in action once it is working.
