AC guinea pig...

you are right, I do.....a sheet of paper, a pencil, and an imagination. Same as you.

I do not have CAD abilities or a metal brake, a water jet / laser cutter, but I know where to find them and when I do, I make friends with the guys in the shop so if I want something not SOP...it is no big deal.

Good luck with your project.

When I was younger I did work at some fabrication shops that did have laser cutters punch brakes and things like that so I could recognize some of your stuff looked in a way prefabricated...
I still haven't pulled the trigger... Our summer is extra mild this year and there's no cruise-ins or car shows or gatherings to go to at any rate...
