Dan's the man! I swear his attention to detail is second to none!

Fiberglass. I enlarged mine and then cut the old one out. I used medium density foam and covered that with duct tape. Glassed over that, cut the old one out, pulled out foam, and finished.

What shifter is in your sons RPU?

Thanks

It was a Gennie, but he sold it on Ebay and is going to do something else. Not sure what yet.

I don't knwo if they make a preformed one, it is a C6 transmission in a 51' Ford F1 with a Lokar shifter on it. I don't have access to a roller (and my metalworking skills are in there infancy) so I figured I'd do mine with sides angled in and then a flat top (will accommodate the boot for the sifter better with a flat top).

I like the way your son did it Itoldyouso, that might work for me. I can't do the rolls like that of course, but the rod would probably help me a lot.

Thanks guys, this is great. I wish one of you lived close enough that I could come over with a case of beer and watch how some of this gets done.
