GB: Toyota E153 -> BP adapter plates (CLOSED/awaiting delivery)
damnit, i'd be all over this... but the modifications to the bay and such are something i personally am not skilled enough to tackle..

the only modification to the engine bay involves a torch and a BFH, at least thats how i did it. of course the best way would be to cut and box, but because there are multiple layers of steel that would be pretty difficult.
other than that you're just playing around with steel tubing, plating, etc.

I'll be paying in a weekish. I want mine cut out of stainless steel and ceramic coated
I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.
I just confirmed, lead time for actually making the parts is running about 2 weeks right now. So assuming i get the money to him on 1/22 (hopefully it will be sooner) we would be looking at approx. 2/5 for a final payment date. If everyone is quick with final payments i could potentially have the parts in my possession by ~2/12 to be distributed around the country within a few days thereafter.
I dont want this to drag out, the only thing that could really hold it up is slow payers so please guys... get your money in

...wat?
they are all mild steel but i could possibly powdercoat it for you for additional $$
the only problem with doing that is i did have to do some minimal grinding on mine to clear the clutch slave cylinder. i could grind it down for you but i cant take my car apart to confirm 100% that i ground it enough. i think the camry slave is shaped slightly different vs. the alltrac slave.

so will this likely happen again after this initial run? if so i will very likely get it on it. Just doubt i can meet the deadline

the minimum batch is 10, so to do another buy i would need to see another pretty large group of interested people. IMO it will probably end up being a one time thing, but who knows.
Sarge and Jeff i added you to the list and PMed you with payment info
