It will be interesting to see how those turn out. You've got some brass ones to cut into your car like that! :cheers

Brass cutting wheel wouldn't work at all. What're you talking about? :wink:

Very Nice!

Funny I was thinking about various ways to do this today while stuck in traffic.

That seam will be a pain to fill evenly and then mud it all in.

What rocker/door sill panel is that your using?

I was thinking about doing something like this: http://www.britishv8.org/Triumph/GeraldKannenberg.htm

or moving the hood/fender area seam wider

Too funny - I'm using a Scorpio steering column with a XR dash - you're doing just the opposite! :haha

I guess I had forgotten about this project - keep the updates coming!
