It actually surprises me that most space frame cars use one floor pan from side to side.

My DAX had a left and right side floor pan and the tunnel was open from below. Allowed easy access and also with air rushing past additional cooling of the coolant tubes.

I have thought about making cutting out the area under the tunnel and making a removable panel under it. But I have not dedicated myself to that yet.

I also purchased little stainless steel louvered panels from a boat store I had planned on placing on the bottom of that area to allow airflow sort of in the tunnel. Also it would allow as a drainage point for any condensation that might occur on the A/C lines.

How about cutting in a NACA duct at the front of the pan under the tunnel and then vent the rear? This should allow airflow to cool the tubes.

That would be better as it wouldn't protrude down.
