We put a rubber weather stripping on the outside of the foot box, next to the body. It actually seals pretty well. It is very hard to see and impossible to take a picture of.

General Question on Finishing a roller...

Just a list of the order you install things would be good. Pictures would be great. Like can you install the engine and trans as a unit, or just the motor and install the trans later, etc. I have done multiple engine swaps, just never on a Cobra.

Thanks
Paul
