Ideas for my engine bay cover
Working on my new air intake & fiberglass engine bay cover. Trying to decide on how to make the sides between cover & engine down to near frame & suspension. Figuring on making them from sheet aluminum with stiffening, punched & flared holes in sections for venting, probably screwing together in pcs with small stainless screws. Being a put together vehicle with existing hoses, etc, I can,t make as neat as I,d like, but anything decent would be an improvement. Any good thoughts, suggestions or even picture sources of professional built engine bays would be appreciated.Other pics in photobucket & you tube link

Got my top cover further along. Since nobody threw in any suggestions for the sides of the cover , guess I'll start fabbing something & see how it looks. Jus picked up more preforated aluminum with 3/16'" holes to use on part of it.

Looks like it's coming along! Be careful not to make it too tight. I built a custom engine bay and it effected under hood temps.
