I think you are correct Micky1mo about the bonnet been higher than you inteneded.
Lancelot link you are correct about the pivot point.
I have been checking through my photos and I havent taken any of the relivent points you both bring up
I will get that re addressed in bonnet part 4, Along with details of why I endup at this point. Possible with bonnet part 5 the rebuild lol.
This Alpha been my first build is a big learning curve. I have completed a Triumph spitfire which was more straight forward on moving pannels, however none of them where the same as the ones I replaced them with.
I supose I am so deep into the project and putting a time constrat on it that I am guilty of building the project too fast and making desicions similar to those I do at work to progress the job, but to my satisfaction and what my customer thinks they need.
Where as I am really enjoying the build of the project I love the shape and quality of the Alpha It does seem to be going together fast for a build maybe a bit too fast. Again down to me, I feel I spend time at work planning the next months jobs I carry out when home when maybe I should step back possible with a beer and take time out to ensure the next move is the correct one and not create further jobs later down the project.
So with that I have decided to remove the 30.07.2018 for completion to later on this year. Sometime in november.
So with that I will source another method of transport for 30.07.2018
I will continue on with my build to get to up to date stage, so more to follow later
I enjoy look forward to and welcome all advice and ideas after all I was a lucker that started a build.
