Hi Timo,
Nice to see all your progress - body on the chassis, yes! I have never seen a fiberglass panel formed up, will be interested to see how you do it.
Thanks for the posts! Doug

Hingecover making
Hi Timo,
Like the hinge covers design, and think they should look great with the caps you plan to weld on. How will you attach the covers to the firewall & inner fenders? I assume the covers will be removable?
Regards, Doug
Yes the covers Will be removable, im gonna weld metal connectors to the firewall and also to the inner fender and they Will hold it on place. Golden counter sink washers with stainless bolts to hold them in place

Little More progres
Hi Timo,
I think the hinge covers worked out great - your engine compartment looks nicely cleaned up with all your mods! I had wondered about the bumps on the radiator cover, and had thought you were evoking the 57 hood bulges - now I know.
I think there would be a market for the parts, depending on price. I have no clue on shipping costs to the USA, but would assume them significant.
Thanks for posting your progress! Doug
based on my prior experience with parts fabricated in Taiwan, the shipping costs will outweigh the production costs significantly, unless perhaps a large quantity is shipped at once on a slow boat... and we normally can't, and won't, do that...
