Cowl screen

Just took a pic of the T-Racer's engine compartment cover and decided to share this addition as well:



When I first got the car the HVAC basically did not work- no air would flow through the system. It took me an entire afternoon to drop the blower from behind the glove box and use hands, sticks, that cable grabby-fingers thing, shop vac, and compressed air hose to get all the leaves and mouse nest outta there! Yeah, it was a big one and during that time I spent digging through those virtually inaccessible ducts and whatnot I thought, "Are there no trees or rodents in Detroit? Then why are the engineers so $&%*# DUMB!!! "

Well, just because they were asleep on the job doesn't mean I have to suffer through this nonsense again. I fashioned these nice screens and as you can see, they work.
