    Seems like if you positioned the inlet air with filters up as high as you could on one end of the enclosure and positioned the outlet fan on the other end of the enclosure down as low to the floor as you could, you'd be pretty close to right, wouldn't you?

    The only better way I could see is if you started from scratch and dug a pit, then used grating to roll the car on. You could have a shallow pool of water in the bottom of the pit and position a duct in the side wall of the pit to pull the air out of the enclosure.

    The one thing that hasn't been talked about much here is lighting. I have painted a few cars in my time and I never had enough light. The last one I did, I had a buddy follow me around with a light. Strictly low-buck, never had enough money to do it right. A row of fluorescent lights all along the floor at the wall would do wonders in addition to overhead lights.
