pompeyal is on a distinguished road
Default Headlights and Front Wings (cont’d)

It looks good with the light in place..



Now for the other side..off with the old pod and clean up









Bonnet fit check..



Removal of paint around areas to be glassed..



Re-shape the perforated aluminium that was used for the other side, recover it in cling film and position then clamped it in place







Now for the glass..





When set cleaned up to the bonnet profile as before



Now for the support





Made another pod and cut to shape..





Cut body to fit..



Prepped and glassed upper wing..




And that’s where it ends for now, the resin in the tin has gone off for some reason, not sure why yet, can’t be the age of it, I will ask at my suppliers when I see him again….. I hope you like the build so far, it has been a long journey and I still have some way to go so the diary will now continue in real time, what you have read up until now covers the last twelve years, I promise it will NOT take another twelve years to finish it……Hmmm my status on here is still a "Dreamer", yeah right...lol
