Oh, for heaven's sake--if it works, it works; who cares what it looks like or if it's up to some arbitrary "standard"? The OP clearly doesn't intend this to be a "mock-up" and appears to be rightly proud of what he's done (which, remember, 99.99% of drivers don't have the inclination/mindset/knowledge/guts to do to their cars). As long as he is happy with it and it does its job, there's no reason to start heaping disdain on what he made, and one could argue that the fact he did it with what he had laying around and didn't go out and buy more materials (consuming more resources at greater cost) is more in keeping with the spirit of this site than the most professional-looking mod.
