If you made it according to the print it will not fit properly. The 3,75" dim needs to be approx 4,06", will have the dimension verified during this week.
That would depend on if you are doing a road car with the battery in the left rear, or if your doing a race car or early prototype, that had fuel cell flanges on both of the sill tops?You need to make a small cutout for the fuel cell flange on the rh one. Probably best to do it when assembling. Can put out the dimension for the cutout if you want it.

I'll do the cutout closer to assembly time , it's easier to cut out than put back. Dimensions for the cutout would be appreciated.That would depend on if you are doing a road car with the battery in the left rear, or if your doing a race car or early prototype, that had fuel cell flanges on both of the sill tops?
Or have I miss understood the statement about the cut out?
I think the drawing is in GT40 Uncovered, if I remember correctly.

I would have to check the bill to be sure but off hand 1018, no heat on 2087-8 or 2051-2.looking great David. Is that just a cold rolled body steel your using? I know it calls out EN2B, but that grade is not readily available in most places.
Have you had to add any heat to get these parts done?

If you can find that in an "aluminum killed" or "silicon killed" grade, use it. These have good forming and drawing characteristics.The 20ga 1018 forms very well and works good with MDF , 18ga is good with MDF to a point. When making a hammerform you need to consider any sharp radius that may need some help from the torch and make a steel hammerform.
Fantastic news. Happy to help out where I can.
