PS - that block is superb.

It's much more ninja than my preliminary block.

I'd like to emulate that belly pan with coroplast, perhaps. Guess I'll have to find a sign shop in the STL area...or maybe support an elected official.

Nice job looks good.

What kind of aluminium is this? I didin't find any at the home depot.

By the way, good job with the belly pan an the block, it looks great. Are you planning to make flaps on it to open it on warm trip?

Very nice mods - I liked the idea of the nuts for the drill stop -

I was wondering, wouldn't it be better to extend the belly pan further back say at least to the middle of the car? I think that would be better would it?

p.s. I like the photos you provided, it really helps with the visualization of of how to do this kind of project. Also aluminum is good I think because it won't melt on exhaust.

Thanks

I did essentially the same on my car, but found that it ran too hot in summer. After all the meticulous work of designing it, I had to remove the permanent lower grille block I fabricated. My aluminum upper grille block is surface mounted and easily removable during warm weather, so that's no problem. The partial belly pan in front works well and is easily removable if I ever need to service that area.

Nice job. Hope yours doesn't run too hot.
