Default Another cool aluminum plat.
I liked my throttle body plate so much I called the same guy and had him make me a plate for the pedal hump on the firewall. I am REALLY happy with how it turned out. I will mount it when I detail the engine bay when the motor is swapped out.

Thoughts?

Thanks. I'm tempted to paint the etchings, and leave the plate aluminum. You know, paint the flag like the flag, and pick a color for the text.

Thats niiiice.... man, I gotta put aside some time to play with the CNC... I have a brand new machine at my disposal, and have yet to really start playing with it.

I'm jealous.

Yo Joe, could make some billet mirror bases to fit the original mounting holes. Then we could buy which ever aftermarket stem and head to bolt on...

Its all about the time my friend... between work, the vette, ho's and everything else I like to do... its tough to find the time.

But yes, this is yet another excellent idea to add to the list of CNC projects.
