Chris has mad skills...I have seen lots of his work and know his liking of making things different. He is an artist. I know a few people who had Chris do some work for them, including myself...
So come on dude... Give us an idea of cost for this? 
You can email me in private if you wish...

And also a time frame to get a panel done... How heavy is yours?

The guys who asked about the exhaust-
I have MAC headers, no cats, and duals with an H-pipe. The trans crossmember is custom made with 2 humps in it (so the driver's side pipe can tuck) And the rear floorpans under the rear seats are cut out, raised 4 inches, and new flat ones welded in made from 14 gauge steel. I cut a little extra foam from the bottom of the back seats and you can hardly tell it's been altered.
This allows the 40 series Flowmasters to tuck up in there and I actually gained ground clearance over the stock setup. The firing order of an LS1 is the same as a 5.0 Ford... it sounds like a 347 Mustang with a big cam, and no popping or crackling like all my other F-body cat backs have sounded like.

Very sweet indeed ! BUT ....I have ANOTHER idea that would be killer on that car; also add the removable "targa rear glass" .....then it would be really open air.... even for the passengers in the back seats. That would look cool too with nothing but the C section on ...no top, no back glass
Hey Whistler, all hats off to you man. You took alot of time doing all of that and you did it in the most professional manner i have ever seen. Great job. God I wish i wasnt 18 and was older to have alot of money to do whatever i want with, because that is what would happen to my car. Now all you need is white leather interior
. Seriously, white leather would look cooler than cool on that car because of the exterior color.
I was just wondering where you learned to do all of that, I kind of want to go into auto body, i think it would be the coolest ever. Did you go to college, or did you just learn yourself?
