Thank you guys. Don't give me more credit than I deserve, this job was quite easy to do, Any dub owner can do it. I believe the most complicated part was to find the right material and tools. Well maybe not, the worse is to find the courage to cut the car in pieces...

Nice ingenuity - well done for thinking outside the box!

With the number of fixings that hold the plate in place, is it going to be very fiddly to remove the plate to adjust the carbs whilst the rear wheels are on? Or do you plan to remove the rear wheels to access the carbs via the adjustment plate?

Hope my questions make sense! I was thinking of doing something along the lines of this with my oval but was concerned about how hard it would be to get access to the required area without removing the rear wheels and putting the car on jack stands.

Cheers

I am doing something very similar with mine, except that as I am using the rear end from another car, I can overlap the panels. I also don't care too much for carb access, as my engine is already tuned and will be moving to FI eventually.

I just thought, as you probobly did, if I am going to bother making a removable apron, then I might as well cut the whole lot off...

Loius,

Nice fabrication. Anyone who's every tuned a set of Webers or Dells will appreciate the windows.

How's the car running (and braking)?
