Operation: Venomous Fish (69 Bcuda V10)

wouldn't it have been quicker/easier/neater to have cut most all of the tunnel away and make a new one from 2 or 3 large pieces of sheet rather than the patchwork quilt approach you used? no offence, it'll look great once finished up but what a lot of work compared to rolling a new tunnel in large sections that'd need only a few joins finishing for paint. i mention it as you still have the firewall to do and it'd be painful to watch you do that all again there along with all the extra finish work before paint. i also see a lot in the hot rod world where the transmission can't be removed (for example to replace a clutch), the entire drivetrain must be pulled which seems crazy. in your time lapse it seemed that you'd built the tunnel pretty snug to the back of the trans which would make removal at the least very hard.
