they look like cut down later waist seals
nope.proper suffix a.crap though, looking for decent ones..do you ever have anything positive to say??lol
today...dont look much,however..brakes all sorted,new lines etc,just waiting on seal for rear caliper..
rear sparks sorted and lights (rear) installed..need to clip cables up out the way and wire up number plate lights,but since they are not on her yet...
rear sliding windows installed..dash worked on...325 bonnet turns out to be a good un!!

you have the right grab handle, hows that for positive? 
pretty sure the doors seals are more rounded, not that it matters as the later ones are better mate

no they are gen oldies,but that is an interesting idea..i have a few good new ones,but want to keep the suffix a quarter light rubbers as they in surprisingly good nick..ie still soft!
i will look into cutting a couple up..
though i have found on ebay and at low cost buildersetc window rubber sold by the m..

Silver bumper looks great, really good contrast against the red.

chevy plate ..
lt95 plate trimmed with "went rather well i thinks" spacer..

Unless you've got another idea it's gonna have to be Plate, 6mm will do & last if it's done right
I take it you don't have access to a CNC or a Waterjet so your looking at cutting it out of Plate with a Plasma, either or, it's still gonna have to be Plate.
I could be wrong, but It's not going to be easy & after all what else are you going to Weld Steel pipe to.
Been following this Fred right from the start (along with Stu's), very interesting & all the best to both of you, ti's an inspiration, A tell thee.

As Rollo said, plasma is best. Failing that send a message to Dr_evil, think he works at a uni and has all the top toys to play with in there metal shop.

our laser cutter isn't installed yet, guillotine, plasma and CNC milling machines is all we have although you could get a nice cut on a manual milling machine using that 6mm plate with no need for finishing after
oh and for CNC I hate writing programs

could you fold a slim fork out to avoid cutting the bulkhead ?
what you mean...??please explain
as is the fork is far too long..and cant cut it....cos then there would be nowhere to connect to slave cylinder..(which unlike rangie is mounted externally engine side of bellhousing..)

of I thought you meant it was too deep
no....its too long..ie the bit that sticks out bellhousing would be 3 inches into bulkhead/footwell..i aint chopping body..so i guess its move fork around,so prehaps operated from below engine rather than on engine side....if you follow??
