It is a lot more labor intensive than most people think. If it wasn't, a lot more people would do it, right.
The number 2 pic, you can see on the top plate, the hole saw caught the metal, and wrinkled it, so I had to make another one. The second one was a lot easier, since most of the shaving had been accomplished on the first on to get it to fit.

Thanks Crash,
Yep, this will be going in the Turbocharged V8 GTR. I figure what the hell, go ahead and bastardise the whole thing, but what I have planned it will be a pretty cool build. My only problem is I do all my own work, so it take me forever to get everything done; body work, paint, trans, engine, wiring, plumbing, welding, stereo, etc.
Give me your e-mail address and I will send you pics. I am documenting the whole build, so I am keeping a lot of the stuff I am doing to myself for the time being. I really want to open my own site, with this build being the main theme for the site, but that is another issue.
Cheers,
Tony

Do you have any 351w motor mounts by chance?

Tony,
Looks like fun!
Just a thought... there are companies that will either laser cut or "waterjet" cut an aluminum panel from a template for a reasonable price. Then you could anodize it or powder coat if you desire.
I've seen some georgous work on some of the kit car sites like the 'FFRforums'.
Looks good though!

I'll have to check out FFRforums.
Right now, I do not have a real paint scheme. I know I want the car silver, blue, and red pearl.
