Frank Lee,
I am trying to figure out a way adjust the amount of air ducted to the rad. manually from the drivers seat?
Yes I meant blocks on the back surface of the grilework, no leaks.

I think your driver-adjusted vent idea has merit. You could do a venetian blind sort of thing with cable control, or any number of ways to open/close I suppose. I would be tempted to rig an all-mechanical thermostatic control and let engine compartment temp decide whether to open the vent or not.
