Since my last offering, I have had to completely revise the position of the bonnet and also the air intake aperture hoop; so a bit of a step back. But it really is vital to make sure I'm happy at this stage because there will be no going back after this. It has to be right now. So, what have I done? Well I've moved the bonnet back towards the scuttle by one inch and have raised it at the front by a whopping 48mm. This allows the curves of the wings to flow nicely into the door area and to me, it looks just right. I have also lost some excess shape by cutting out and welding up. So I have been busy and hopefully, productive.
The bonnet will hinge off the underside of the main chassis rails using custom made items. It will be important to get these in the optimum position so that the bonnet opens sufficiently for adequate access to the engine bay.
