I do need to update that file though. The "armpit" cut-out needs to be a little bigger. Also the curve of the upper right-hand side can be cut straight to allow more room for batteries in the radiator area of the car.

OK - here is an updated image:


The round notch on the bottom left needs to be a little bigger for the passenger-side CV joint. Also, up isn't up. I marked in a red line showing the approximate direction of up. The red line on the right shows extra metal that could be trimmed off to make a little more room for long batteries in the radiator area.
