I was being sarcastic. However, my new oil cooler is massive and does cover probably 30-40% of the radiator, but then again I've got a Koyo radiator, so I expect with decent oil cooling the larger rad will be able to handle the water temps even with a 200-some-odd degree oil cooler and intercooler in the way.
As far as sealing it... I've got some sheet aluminum and some snips. I was planning on tracing out the necessary shapes and cutting myself some panels to rivet between the bodywork and radiator... then use some metal tape and weather stripping to help seal it all up. I just haven't gotten around to the work since it's going to be tedious and probably cut the crap out of my hands.
