[QUOTE="westgl, post: 100307, member: 2025"] I had a little time today so i thought i would play with the side skirting. Here are a couple of pictures. I was thinking, bare metals as discussed, Or maybe color match painted, or offset painted Or maybe painted skirts, with a polished alum. section, right over the tube runners to high light them. that way some paint and some bling. Also some rubber vacuum tubing, slit on one side then glued on to the perimeter would give these two panels a finished look. There is a lot of different ways you can go, in stead of painting your engine a couple of nice looking side skirts can hide a whole lot of ugly. Looks like three bolts will hold them in place. It looks to me like some foam to fill the gaps between the frame and radiator will keep cold air out and aid in pulling air through the radiator. We need to get enough flow into and exhaust to keep good engine cooling i do not want to sacrifice engine cooling, it is 3 times, exhaust as intake, since hot air expands. I May need more exhaust opening so that drawing in cold air into the radiator will not be slowed down. We will need to be conscience of this, if we start having a warmer engine on cooler days. You could have a set of winter skirts and a set of summer skirts. Here is a card board mock version [GALLERY=media, 21381][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 21382][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 21383][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 21384][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 21385][/GALLERY] [/QUOTE]
