 Paul,  What do  you think of this design?  How will the bottom

cowl

 profile look in reality?   The rad is only 13 inches wide so the

cowl

 can curve out and up to the max width. That should help the
 appearance.  Can we hold the 13" bottom dimension and blend it

into

 the inlet (13  x 4.188)?  Unfortunately,  my cad drawing is so
 rudimentary I cannot  portray what I am visualizing.   Jerry

Looks good to me.

This is what I have so far.

What kind of intake opening do you prefer?:
Oval?
Round?
Rectangular?

I'll work on it a bit more.

Rectangular or rounded rectangular for  the opening.  Your drawing
thus far looks like a photograph of what I have built.   From here on
the process will be reversed and I will be building what you draw.

I need some good photos for the ACRE NL web site.
So please use that bed sheet and take some.:-) 

Here is a top view.
