A BIT OF AN UPDATE FOR YOU ...

Glan has pretty much gotten the side profile back to where it was before the cut ..we have started to blend the front vent into the body too and lengthen it slightly ..The door has been re-instated and 3mm hardboard spacers in place to gap it ..

We needed to figure out what's happening with the upper cowl and bonnet line , so we put the Z300 bonnet in place to get an idea of where we are going ...



It fits quite well in this pic with it shoved over one way ...the bonnet line and wheel arch are looking quite good .



We need to split the bonnet in the middle , either side of the bulge , reduce its width by a couple of inches , reduce the width of the front wheel humps and radius them a bit more ..more curvy , if you like ... then re-instate the hump , altering its shape slightly ...cut the grille off and upright it , reducing nose length slightly and re-shaping the aperture and flatten the top of the wheel arch opening to take the roundness out of it to match the rears a bit more ( kind of like a '56 500 TR )....so you are looking at a very rough , basic start and not the end product ..but its made me feel good about it , seeing the front in place ...
