[Half-Inch Stud]

Well, sealing the Alabama garage is hopeless ( our 1920 PA 3-car garage was well sealed ).
The AL land has sheep, hens, bees, barn, so the sheep poop has attracted rats, mice.

No roaches !! plenty of geckos, chameleons, and a garage frog.

If I were to pull the fenders to work the Lower cowl-side sealing (screen or metal to close it) I’d consider the “ $300 “ wrapping as a repaint to make it worthwhile. That would motivate.
