    I scraped a set of back half frame rails, didn't like the way it turned out
    Scraped a set of 4 link brackets didn't like them
    Had to chop up & reroute #2 header tube because it hit the frame rail
    Scraped several firewall panels, didn't like them.
    Cut out a second set of door hinges, didn't like the first set.
    Cut up the first main hoop for the cage, didn't have enough helmet clearance.
    Went rounds with the salesperson from Wilwood trying several different caliper configurations to fit my combo.["sure we can make our parts work"]. Finally gave up my deposit, went with Aerospace & they fit first time. (probably has something to do with the fact it has an Aerospace rear housing).
    Other than that it's been a cake walk, but I still have a ways to go.
