Re: 1958 Saab story
None of the panels are air tight. The splash panels were only intended to deflect debris coming off the rear tires. My original thought was to make a small vertical plate by the tail light wiring access hole to keep debris from collecting and rotting out the body panels over time. But when I saw there was almost a straight shot from the 2 bolt holes left on the fender well and the rear panel where the original wooden floor was, I thought that was the better option. I thought about making louvers to drain any water that got trapped and, like you mentioned with air flow, but we'll see what happens and I'll address any issues as they arise.
