Then, it was the top shroud. Hmmm, looks like I'd have to trim the shroud to clear around the retainer plate. That likely won't do.

I think I like this more. A target for design / engineering is to have a single part that performs more than one function. So here's my top shroud/retainer!

I'll back this up with carbon fiber to keep the overall design theme I have in the interior.

For months, I've been staring at the hole where the fuel tank sits so today I opted to make up the first of the lines.
Yet another example of cool new components hanging out with this ratty looking chassis and other older items.

I can't hardly wait to see what all this will look like once things are powder coated, anodized and painted.

I like the new top shroud but agree it needs some bead roller detail to make it fit the theme. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@sixnotfour What? You mean you haven't poured over all 90 + pages and committed everything to memory? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Yes, driver side fill. The pump needed to drop into the tank's sump so I had to move the filler. Here's the planned set up, from an earlier post.

@914forme and @Cairo94507 - So it's true: Everyone's a critic...

And you seem to have no problem creating more work for me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

But I'm claiming I beat you to it - I was at the metal store today, picking up the materials needed to make the stamp for this.

Hard fuel lines competed at the front bulkhead, so 1/2 way done! Now on to making them connect to the rear bulkhead.
I'll also fab a couple of supports for these.

I like the drivers side fill, also notice the nice flange delete you did on section of the tank. Great work, all your efforts are really paying off, and you have made huge leaps in skill level from when you started this project.

Would you please get to the Tangerine Racing Suspension Console raise, right now your making me think of adding items to my project instead of solving my fear of hacking the rear suspension pickup points out of the car.

Come on help a guy out.

After that if you don't mind working on the compound curve section to graph in the 944 Sunroof section that help would be greatly appreciated. Actually if you make those pieces I will gladly take the version 2 off your hands Chris (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Version two of your stuff is like version 15 of mine. I would gladly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) onto my 944 roof panel and the top of my EG car.

@tygaboy thanks for helping me out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Stamped. And yes, I changed the design.
The retainer tab cut outs are a flipped/scaled down replica of the front of the removable doghouse cover design.
I also tightened up the clearances around the hood latch.
Now all the panels are matchy match!

Y'all happy now @Cairo94507 and @914forme ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

@914forme Thanks for the kind words, Stephen. I remain convinced most anyone who wants to develop these sorts of skills can do it. It's just a matter of time invested. Being retired has certainly helped speed my development.

Re: the Tangerine rear pick ups, the current plan is to get the car running essentially as is, debug all the systems, verify I've got all the needed holes, mounts, tabs, etc.
Then I'll blow the whole thing apart, do the Tangerine stuff, paint it and reassemble.

I like the idea of the hard top, as you know. I'll have to look into that and maybe grab a 944 roof from Parts Heaven before they close up for good.
