Thanks Russell. Yes, I will be doing the same thing in regard to laying the glasswork over the current surface to get a "glove fit", and then pop it off. BUT, I wish to make mine removeable if at all possible, which I assumed was what the team had as well with the fasteners visible in the photos I've seen. If indeed the team spoilers were bonded in place, then that is something I need to think about before proceeding further. As best as I can tell, the dimensions of the original spoiler are 2.13 m wide, and about 165mm diagonally tall, which is where I went. Unfortunately, it's a LOT of real-estate on this thing (which hopefully makes it aerodynamically effective), and I'm not sure I want it permanently affixed to the rear panel.
I had the same issues with my Holley EFI. Being an old carb guy, it was quite an experience learning about EFI, and constantly adjusting all the parameters of the system to finally get the idle and start-up right. I had to re-pin mine from an LS1 pinning, to an LS2 pinning. That's the kind of work you do at midnight when everybody is asleep, and you have NO distractions. Even one wrong wire is hell, and I was reverse-pinning a front engine harness to become a rear-engine harness, so I had to reverse image some of the coil and injector wiring.
The bodywork is 80% scratch-built, (back in 2009-2015) like you did with your McCopy (or Leon is doing with his '20)...nothing new there. I used the drawing below, scaled it up (1mm = .8") to make the panels (and used plastic models of the "B" as well as hundreds of photos), and then added slightly enlarged "B" side scoops off of an "E" that I measured.
