I don't remember the name of the guy that makes them but I know Prosport has one and he probably can get you that info.

Why not just make your own??? It is not that hard. I made one for our 70RR blower motor opening when I pulled out the heater/AC box as we don't need either down here. I took some measurements, drew it up real quick in my CAD program, printed it out, spray glued the piece of paper to a scrap of plywood. I then ct it out for a trial fit. Once I confirmed it was correct, I did the same only spray glued directly to the aluminium. Cut it out, polished it up and bolted it in. Made a backing plate at the same time that I drilled and tapped, even cut out the center for weight savings (small but hey.

Hope this picture is clear enough:

Yah - I went for the beryllium-boron fiber, vacuum melt panel with the flashing neon back-lighting for the "wow" factor.
Then I found out that "wow" means "your engine isn't done because you spent how much on that?"

I've have one of those the very moment I can't think of any way to make the car faster, and my mortgage is paid off.
For now, 1/8" foam + cardboard wrapped in 2 mil plastic sheet has done just fine for 2 years (but then, my driver's seat in my '70 Coronet was a beach chair held down by the seat belts).
Cheaper = faster.

I think you guys will be surprised to find out that it was only $30 , nice thick aluminum, custom engraved, and mine was custom fit to cover a couple paint scratches. Great product at a great price.

Thanks for the members name Steve.
