Can you take some pics? You have basically the design I was thinking and I'd like to see how you did it. Love this project you are doing.

Has anyone ever tested cooling efficiency difference between bottom draw and dam air? I assume boffom cooling is better because it theoretically uses all of the radiator whereas ram air basically only cools the area of the radiator that the air is directly blowing through.
