| Sweet. I've been trying to find someone with experience for a long while now. Random shops around me don't want to do it... and that's lame... I'll be checking back frequently! |

| Terrance doesn't actually do the welding himself. He does the blueprinting and CAD design and has it fabricated in their massive shop. Either way, he'll get the job done, and won't charge you $5,000 for it.  |

| Wow nice skylight. Alright well I might as well post it up here publicly, then we can figure out who should or will do the job. I also don't know what thickness would be best. I think your judgment would be better than mine. Holds light pressure and sturdy, all it needs to be. I'm also listening to any critiques anyone may have with my design. These are just my drawings; I haven't made any architecture style drawings yet, but I need to so that they also include the bracket mounts. I'm making those up on the computer at the moment.

| lol I was doing all the measuring in inches at first.... then idk why decided to change lol Umm it's about 8in long, 3in wide, and 2.75in high. It could be done either way, the difference in size won't be an issue. |

| Oh I would like to add that the bottom holes are deceiving, they should have been drawn as inside as they are on the bottom for where the drain valves will go. Based on the center divider, each side should be separate and sealed from one another, by the way. It's 2 catch cans in 1. |

| Alright. What's your cost sir? What thickness should I go with? I'm thinking maybe thicker on the top bottom so I can thread the hose barbs and drain valves in. And I need to get you the specs for the brackets. To give you an idea, in my EK it's going to mount on the back of my passenger side shock tower, bolting into the tower and the place where my fuse box used to mount on the quarter panel side. I've got a battery and wire tuck so all that stuff has vacated that area.

| It's a catch can. For doing what catch cans do. Removing toxins from the crankcase vent. Dual catch can so that it also keeps the valve cover vent clean too. Nothing to do with battery relocation, except that it and the fusebox have been relocated, so hence that's a perfect spot for it. |
