The templates I have will work just fine cookieman69, but I believe the video will do the trick too. I have to admit that if I had it to do over again, I would get the video and leave the templates. The reason I asked sdetweil about his templates is becase his look so much different (better) than the ones I have. To say I'm dissappointed in what I paid $150 for, would be the understatement of 2009. They are nothing more than "drawings" on plain brown wrapping paper.

Mine are decent, and I have copied them for others for the copy (they are large drawings) and postage fees.

the pictures of mine are actually copies of the originals I received.

I think I paid $50 for mine from a local guy that made them from his install... worked great and I've given them out to dozens of people... I think I still have the originals on poster stock somewhere... we cut with a torch and did very little clean up grinding on my clip... worked well...

as long as you pay close attention to your measurements and square/plumb it's not a hard task...it is a little daunting to start hacking up your frame... but how about later, chopping it all out, repairing the frame and doing a Mustang II. Now that is just crazy, eh Sam ???

don't know that its 'crazy', but certainly different (you like that don't you?!)..
and more challenging than many of us could attempt..

but we REALLY think you just want to be the master of "how to's", so you keep trying new things so there is a trail we can follow..
