95% done with pre-engine start cooling

Category: Baffling
95+% of my baffling/engine cooling prior to engine start are completed, it was a multi month process. e last part was slicing the rear silicone so slide into the U-supports for a night airtight fit.

Silicone sheets installed
- (6 hours)
Category: Baffling
Installed nearly the last of the silicon sheets for the cooling, I have the under the front ramp to do, but that is super ease. I actually doubled up the “thin” black stuff that cam with the Vans kit so it would be stiffer. I just did not want the red/orange visible below the front ramps
Tomorrow starts the trimming
