Man don't you let anyone question your hood and don't you, it looks awesome I wish I could do body work and fab work have as good as you. I can't wait to see the whole car together.

Finally some action on the mould fabrication….with it having been so hot in Canberra for the past few weeks I’ve been unable to lay fiberglass.…vinyl ester resin cures far faster than polyester even when using slow reaction catalyst….temps have been low enough to get the exterior part of the mould made, with luck the coming week or two will see the other half made….

this is a quick mockup of the graphic I was thinking of, it will be done silver to match the bumble bee stripe, wheels and bars...thoughts

I love the way the hood looks!
I need a couple of those graphics!

both moulds are made...final sand and polish to go....

Well, with work, car shows, people finding me things to do for them in my “spear time” the hood has taken a while…but there has been progress!!

Man that is cool! You have some incredible talent for fiberglass work, thank you for sharing with us!

The test bonnet now has been filled with the expanding urethane foam, won’t do that on the bonnet I’m going to use! Cover plates for the gas struts and quick latches made and fitted, along with the molding….ready for fitting to the ute!
