well I finally got the top plate figured out,I have a bit more cleaning up but im very happy with the outcome & weight

.Now its on to the mid plate/battery tray.May need to pick up some 1/8 plate first,i planed to use 3/16 but am second guessing now after noticing the weight of the upper before i did the cutouts.
still to come:
) Mid plate/battery tray
) Motor mount to get the motor on the top plate
) 3906 tranny topshaft for gen 3 slipper with both top gears ( im not a fan of leaving the spur cover off & eliminating gears for the topshaft conversions
)& more To be continued
