The sides look a little angular in the photos but they are not they slope with nice curves. The red cardboard cut out head light is 205mm dia which is enough for a 7" head light and surround, just occurred to me we need a position for a side light and indicator.

Great work Chairman

I like the new light position it makes the front wings look really muscled!
It must make for a huge area of bonnet from the top of the light to the screen.
Have you dropped the lower front edge of the light cutout by about 5cm?
This alteration would help my build as the headlight pods are hitting the existing inner wheel arches, which I am keen to retain.
However the sleek looking lights was one of the points that sold the Kit to me.

I think the rear looks fantastic, certainly going to make a beatiful car.

I have a 356 screen to fit to mine so I will be very interested in your next posts as Andrew Hush has cut his skuttle top quite a bit to get a screen door gap similar and I think I will have to do similar.
