David,
I used .063 for the rear plate (the one that bolts to the carbs) and .040
for everything else. To cut the metal, I used a combination of jig saw
w/metal cutting blade, hack saw, tin snips, and files (depending on what
seemed to work best. I mocked up the rear plate in cardboard first (so I
would know where the bolt holes/breather holes/carb hole went) and used a
bimetal hole saw and file to make the large holes for the carbs.
Hope this helps,
Hugh

Hugh,
Great picture, nice job. I am thinking I will go this method, what was the
thickness of the aluminum sheet? What did you use to cut the sheet stock?
