Thanks for the input, Sean.
If I sell these it'll be as they come out of the mold
(ie: uncut) ...it will be up to the buyer to cut & fit
either an Automatic or Manual shift, gauge holes, etc.
I'll include installation tips, etc.
I won't be able to incorporate the heater outlet piece
as the mold is already made.
I've got a couple of guys getting back to me with
quotes on building them. I'll keep ya posted.
Cheers!
Kevin
