Thx Lightholder - awesome sir! What kind of beer do you drink, or can I send you a few bucks to go buy some?
I've added the dimensions to the drawing, and some dimension indicators to show the surface references. I've left some in red as I either wasn't sure I was interpreting your description correctly or the dimensions didn't seem to add up. I'm not real concerned with the curves up front (as I can just follow the doghouse)...as long as I have the height down to the 2-1/2" in the middle, I should be good for clearance with the gearshift linkage.
You're the man, I really appreciate the help : ) Derek
