A lot of playing going on, but still doesn't look like a lot.

Vents marked out in tape.


Tape carefully cut out


Cardboard template/mold made


I used the cardboard template to make an aluminum piece. This ensured all were the same. Here it is being glassed in.


Vents cut and molded


Here is the rocker that I bought from Smartaxel (nice meeting you, Jim).


It will require heavy mods to make work. Here I've cut the vent off and starting mocking up the 430 vent.

Cut out the inside of the vent. I'm going to swap the sides to create the scallop.

I want to get a lot of the body out of the way first. I want to get it in a state similar to Bozzie's. Once i can get a good look of the profile, then I will make that decision.
