I have some questions about sealing off my engine compartment. For example: how do you do it? I have a piece of fiberglass that came from the previous owner -- it appears that it will go from the rear frame rail to the engine tins by the pulley. It seems to me that mounting the material directly to both surfaces won't work. Don't you need some other material (i.e. rubber seal?) to allow for movement of the engine without breaking the fiberglass?

What do you guys do to seal off between the rear frame rail and the body?

Anyone have good pictures of their engine compartment as an example?

Anyone want to come over on Sunday and help me figure this out? I'll have beer... ;)

I apologize if this has been covered before, but most of the other questions that have been asked in this forum were more specific than mine... Plus, I could use some photos!

I hope you all have a great weekend, and enjoy the holiday!

Kevin, you're an animal.
Adam, the Bus seal works really well, but so does electrical matting, high-temperature rubber C-channel or a good fan system.
I don't have any of that; I'm just using tightly-fitted aluminum.
Thanks to Kevin (odwagerty), I'll have to re-make my tins out of diamond plate.
