your stock  air intake is beside the headlights, I had water over the hood several times.  Basically, all I have is ignition protector on the wires, breathers relocated to the inside of cabin, all holes athat leak are plugged.  Trial and error though, still leaks from the dashboard somewhere

That's probably the fresh air intake
Leaking thru the vent system   ;)

That is sweet. Add a little wright to the back and fix that firewall leak and you can turn it into a boat  8) We want to see a paddle tire crossing when you get it water proofed  ;D

My kick takes air in from behind the drivers side fender.  I'm thinking of making a snorkel.

not too bad. if it gets worse, I'll put on a bead of urethane so the rubber will be more compressed

I sent this link to my cousin, here is what he said.  "He needs to put some big holes in the floor board so the water can get in and out easier.  That way  it might sink enough to get some traction."   ;D
