Using the information supplied by Bob at Flight Crafters, I left the
opening, as is and added a firewall behind it. I plan to omit the
Europa firewall. The idea is to get all the hot air out of the cowl and
reduce the chance of overheating. Any additional drag will be
acceptable, in my opinion, if it helps cool the engine. I don't plan to
fly much cold weather, so I don't see a problem with the engine running
too cool. If it does, I can always add a cowl flap to control the air...

Wiring the panel. Rest of the airframe is pretty much done...
