Default Need Porting HELP!

Ok guys I need some help. I am sure most of you have heard of John Stewart, The Nitrous Master. Well he passed away awhile ago and I have been communicating with Julie "widowed wife" about the Super Spyder Sheetmetal Intake that he custom made. There were only a handfull ever built by him. I just bought the last of what he had built. And the only thing that it needed done was where the port holes are to the heads and the welds are they need ported out. Basically I just need this thing cleaned up and fully ported. It also needed a top/lid for it but that is not a problem at all because I work in a sheetmetal shop. So if you guys can lend me a hand and help me find someone that does a good port job, and that isn't going to rape me in price it would be greatly appreciated.
Here are pics of it...it is seriously the baddest sheetmetal intake I have ever seen and I cannot wait to get her done!! Thanks guys for helping me!

By looking at the pics it appears to need quite a bit of clean up work. Sorry, I don't know anyone in this line of work.

Best of luck finding someone.

Yea I won't be able to do the side that sits flush with the heads until I get a gasket, then I can gasket match it, I am basically looking for someone to do the inside of it for now to clean up the welds. Hell if no one can do it I might just get the die grinder out and work on it in the evenings....
