I have a jig that lies over the body and locates the vent hole, the lower cut out for the exhaust, the bolt holes for the badges and the holes for the stock windshield, so that’s easy. I also have patterns for all of the seat cushions, interior pieces, and I have a jig to make the aluminum vents. You can’t see it but the hood scoop is a separate piece so I plan on putting it forward to make a functional air scoop for the LS front intake because I really want to show up at track day and just trash some rich guys top of the line European sports car with a cobra.

I taken a little more time to look around some of the other threads and the reason I like the vette stuff is the price and the time that’s involved. You guys are building some beautiful independent suspensions and I think they will just kill most cars out there but I can get a wrecked 97-04 vette for 5k-7k LS1 350 horses motor, T56 trans six speed, all aluminum suspension, big disk brakes all around, duel A arms front and back, a racing power rack, with about 200 dollars of modifications to the torque tube and drive shaft and 300 to fix the wiring harness I should have no problems being about 1600-1800lb fully loaded and gassed up. Our 32 roadster is loaded down with automatic trunk operators and other crap and it’s got a C4 vette suspension and it weights 1800lb.

All of your comments have given me a new jump on things I’m going to finish that chassis up by Sunday and get you all some photos so you can see what I’m talking about

Thanks again
