Was hoping the picture would just keep comming. The fabrication work is top notch. I was expecting to see press brakes and trumph machines for the panel work, very suprised to see the hand made bending tool. Great work. Just shows what can be done when you have talent on your side

Thanks for the comments lads
Yes it will be rhd,the exhaust will be heat wrapped or ceramic coated and is over an inch away from the tunnel at any point,under the tunnel will also have a thermal barrier so heat won't be a problem Originally Posted by pole drift
