Nice use of modern technology - not the laser, that's so 1960's spoof spy movie - but the 'CAD' or Cardboard Aided Design system.

I'm sure you'll get your bonnet sorted soon.

Given the two issues you've highlighted, the difference in gap between the snout and headlights from side to side and the offside wheel protruding from under the arch, I'd be looking at cutting a line from the rear of the bonnet to between the snout and offside headlight and putting a slim, triangular fillet into the gap to widen the front on that side but keep the rear matching the bulkhead. Hope that makes sense...

Oh, and I love the alloy bonnet corners. I'd be tempted to not prep them for paint that well and scuff off the surface at the edges to show the alloy below. That would give it the vintage, hand crafted aluminium (expensive!) body shell look.

Keep up the good work.
