Assuming your still considering a a custom part, do you want help with coming up with a drawing package? It would help in getting quotes if you had a fully dimensioned detail drawing and a 3D model. I have access to good software at work and this would be a small task, pm if you like.

Definately will have to match existing paint. You have put forth a very generous offer sir. I may take you up on it. Its a bit early right now though. Still need to work out the placement of the cuts.

Thanks again for your help.
Thanks to all you guys for your ideas!
