Miata update

So the next thing that I wanted to do was to seal the gaps between the grill and the radiator. After the grill opening there was about a 3 inch gap between the radiator and the grill opening and shroud. To fix this I am using a product called Coroplast, it is corrugated plastic. I put a U shaped piece to direct airflow for the sides and bottom. Then i made inserts for the front of the grill to direct the air towards the grill as can be seen in the second pic. Now that the air from the grill opening can only go though the radiator i feel more confident that i won't have any cooling issues after I close up the bottom of the engine bay.
