Just had to throw this in, here's a pic of the vette set up. The Camaro / Firebird is different.

Mine is mounted with stainless steel brackets with thick rubber inserts. The top bracket if flat and the bottom is a right angle with gussets on the sides. Here's a pic.

Thanks again Savage, I learned something. At this point, I'm kinda committed. The engine is out of the car so I don't really know.

Thanks Savage, the car is not an every day driver and it spends most of it's life in my garage so I'm not overly concerned with frozen doors or leaks from the drip rails delete....I won't be driving it during crappy weather. I doubt that the body is air tight enough that door closing will be an issue. My understanding is that it helps with cooling the interior by improving the air flow through the cab. We had a healthy debate a while ago about filling the vents in the cowl (this is where the ventilation pulls from), bottom line was the air may not be as free flowing but shouldn't be a big deal. After all, I'm in Canada not Arizona. I was going to do the side marker light delete also but was concerned getting it through inspections. Thanks for your thoughts.

Here's some pics of the mods I made to make lines disappear.

LOL I was just looking for a new hero too...can I have your autograph? Make sure you save a few copies for the grand kids.

I tried playground sand in my dry blaster and the inconsistent size of the grain was a pain. The draw tube kept plugging up from the larger grains.

Your right OperationZ, I had to take a dremel with a sanding drum to cut back the cover so my speedo and tach would slip out when I did my white face upgrade. But, it can be done.

Thanks Califthugs, I don't want to hijack the threads. Here's a link if you want to see more. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=113913

That's cool, it would look good under one of my wire cars

I cut up a spare set I had and epoxied a screen in place of the slats, here's a couple of pics.
