and mask it with tape from the inside along the holes

~~ The downside is the aftermarket panels do not have the curve in them.  They are straight across

Steve,this is not always the case,it depends on the brand

i have a Taiwan panel in the garage (sorry ) that has a 1/2 inch bow in it

That is some mighty fine work you have done.  Seems like a long way to go to get the same clearance you could have gotten by just cutting off the four bumps?  Or, are you shortening up the length of the upper control arms a bit?  Good thing that UCA is adjustable, because you sure can't get any shims back there!

tnx Steve

The arms will go out a 1/4 of a inch
well steve,its a lot off work to do it this way,but i really like the clean look i will get
plus, i will keep my option open to drop in a coyote lateron( mayby )

nice to hear the comments from all off you,TNX

Tonie, i'm not done with my mod to the 65 yet but i'm getting an extra 1" on each side at the exhaust manifold area and a bunch more higher up!  it will be cool because i will be able to change plugs easy and drop the motor in with the headers on and not changing the uca location at all, all i've done is change the stock uca to the GW uca....reason is the ford design is so bulky behind the mounting shaft so they needed that ugly bulge in the tower, i'm making the tower flat across useing 3/16 plate takes care of that and the gw arm mounts nice and flush.... Jim

Show me some pictures Jim

will show some pictures off my idee this week.
