The shock mount holes were copied but the tower was lowered slightly as well, due to my shocks all being old school

Very cool... how did you cut the shock towers?

I use a pin router (there is a thread I started here if you search pin router) to make the final. The front for example I double side taped an original tower, routered one side, and refitted the tower to cut the second half. On the rear, I made half a tower with my dremel, then taped and routered, flipped it, and routered the second half. That way the sides are identical. Now that I have a final tower, its as easy as just running a new piece thru the pin router to copy it.

Here is the pin router thread

Oh cool, I saw that thread, that's a slick way of doing things. Really nice results!

That is slick!

I like what I see so far. It looks great!
