Best of luck.
Thanks for your message. I've spent quite a bit of time in Florida. Your winter temps aren't much lower than our summer temps.
Well, OK, that's a slight exaggeration. But not too much... But message received from you and others. Will plan to vent the engine covers. I did actually find some I liked. Pictures at the top of this page: http://www.streetdreamsbyross.com/vents.php. They are custom made and can be in the length I want. Will probably order when I'm a little further along and decide where to place them and the space available.
