Hey guys, got a question. when you are working on your rod and replace the transmission I am sure many of you end up with a big cutout where it was made to fit. I have this and now need to make a piece to cover this up and have for when it gets carpeted. I saw a real slick 49' I think Ford in a magazine that the guy made one out of fiberglass, not sure that would work for me. was thinking of making frame out of some 1"x1/8" steel and then hand shaping some thin sheet metal to go over that.

any other ideas? pictures? all helpful and appreciated.
