.125 styrene only thing different from the kydex is its a little bit more dull. I exacto the edges after cutting to try to match the punch press look.

the details are great! and reverse engineering tooling marks, just that extra attention
,i have been building my own fuel tanks recently and kitting my latest nitro ride with home made linkages and all the inspiration is from two of Ryan's restos
