Here is a different question guys/gals!!! i have a steel scattershield. it 
is an ex sprint car piece. it has been clearenced on the bottom and a clutch 
window is opened up. the flange has been taken off on the bottom which 
caused bottoming out in the dirt. will this be legal at the lakes? it is a 
steel bell housing. i can fix the window with a plate, but i dont have a 
block protector and the flange is off. what will happen at tech. the bell 
housing panel has been modified...lol. the rules do not answere a question 
like this. i will email a photo of it to an expert and tell me if i can use 
it so i dont have to buy a new one!! thanks for the help again!!! by the way 
the top of the shield is perfect and intact. if the clutch blew it would cut 
a trench in the dirt and make a mess i quess. let me know what i should do. 
trying to save a dime anyway i can.
