Thanks. That's good advice. I know the "firewall" in a 911 isn't since the engine's not there. I was going to seal the thing as well as I could, then seal to the radiator enclosure to the gas tank, then lay the carpet back on top of it as well. We'll see how it works out. I don't like how flimsy the side panels for the radiator are.
I may make them out of sheet steel and weld them in. Dunno. Have to see how it works out.
