Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I always buy some poster board paper for mocking up panels so I can use them as patterns for the steel. I assume everybody does it this way. It was awfully hot out today so I wasn't very productive. - That plus my sinuses were acting up. - And my dog ate my homework...

I think I'll be able to form the metal out of two pieces. It'll be rounded towards the front and square off around the shifter. If I mark reference points on the paper I should be able to transfer those onto the metal so that I align correctly with the sharper bends when it goes in.

The tunnel seems awfully tall to me. I'm hoping we haven't positioned the transmission too high. If I drop the plate down that goes over the shifter I'd be lower but I wanted enough clearance that the transmission would have wiggle room for installation and didn't want it knocking on the floor.

I don't see much problem with the tunnel other than I still think we'll have to have custom carpet made.
