Cranetruck,
Being thermodynamically challenged in the vehicular department,how did you come to the size of the open areas in the plywood? Is that the cumulative square inches provided in the winter front? How do the shape and placement of the holes influence the heat retention/dissipation?
Yup, an M109 it is, but hangovers require lots of water - therefore a purification truck would be in order!
