You don't think 19 row will be enough? I don't plan to track the car much, it will mainly be to keep the temps lower on my daily commute in the summer. I saw 250 degrees this past summer during some spirited driving and want to prevent that this year.

Just trying to keep the temps down when it starts getting warmer.

I have a 25 row cooler with a Mocal Thermostatic Plate and I absolutely need to run a block off plate. I fabricated a plate out of fiberglass cloth, spray adhesive, and rubber spray. Not pretty, but effective.

Yea I figured as much, I will probably just get a piece of sheet metal and zip tie it in front of the cooler in the winter.
