Removeable Slam Panel

The ridiculous angles you have to get the engine at in order to clear the slam panel can be reduced by making it removable.

I have left the outer 5 inches or so in place and obtained a second complete panel and removed 1/2 inch off each end.

This then bolts to the original outer edges using the two horn and one radiator stabilizer holes on each side.

3 bolts per side using original holes seems to work well

The vertical support can be self tapped to the lower panel.
