This is what I have so far.
It's steel HVAC ducting, and it is screwed to the frame of the car using 1" sheet metal screws.
I'm going to skip sandwiching the Coroplast over the ducting and just leave as it is.
The underside of the car has a coating of thick grease.( the undercoating )
It appears to be factory, and not just due to years of driving the car with a leaking engine - or so I hope.
It is really thick - 1/8" in some areas, and I'm worried about a fire hazard.
I fully expected the metal covers to rattle like crazy when I started the car, but to my relief, they don't !
The engine has an oil leak that I need to find and fix.
It leaks around a 1/4 teaspoon per week. ( or less ? )
This is the Coroplast belly pan mock up after a week under the car
I can just see that oil collecting and catching fire.
For now, I plan to have a low area in the belly pan directly under the engine with an exit hole.
I am asking for your advice guys.
I am no engineer, and if you see something that raises a red flag and makes you say " Well that's not good ! ", please let me know.
- Thanks !
