    Beware that many pdf's are not to scale and you may need to play around with image size when printing.

    Hi Sheven, have a search for local timber suppliers will save you postage will cost a bit. I'd google timber suppliers in your area or have a look on Yellow Pages

    Let us know what type of timbers are available and a one piece will be a good option if you can find a slab big enough. At a guess you will need at least 500mm long and about 350mm wide. Those Mustangs look long
