But if it's not a tech issue if it's just blocked off under the kick panel I think I'll skip it and make a block-off plate.

Rob, I'm glad to see that progress is being made.
Actually you don't need to block it off at all. You'll just get a little "astro ventilation" in the Az. summer. The cowl vents are designed so the water will run out at the bottom of the fender.
You just can't block the cowl vent on top...Called streamlining in the rule book, I believe.
