Lightbulb My aluminum performance shroud

So I bought a WC set a few weeks ago for my little rig (see rig below) and desided I'll join in on the shroud building fun.

I ordered some 120x480x15mm aluminum plates (actually got them for free thanks to a co-worker with good connections).
I used an old milling machine at work for this (these old babies are not being used a lot with all the automated CNC machines we have these days).

I haven't got the bolts to fit them together yet, but I will get them tomorrow and post some pics with the shroud on there

Thanks to my co-workers for the help (they didn't want to be photographed)
