I don't know about Dakota, the bonnet scoop looks like the cockpit from a B52 Bomber, like it very neat bonnet shut lines and the three ovals

That's progressing rather nicely, it's going to look pretty different.

This is a very neat job. 
Can I ask what filler you are using?
Cheers, Paul.  |

It looks even better in real life. I saw it yesterday and have realised that I have a whole world of body filler and sanding ahead of me. Having never worked with body filler or glass fibre or cars before I had no idea about applying it or shaping it. Now I realised why Chris at Tribute laughed when I asked if he thought one tine of filler would be enough.
Top tips:
Screw the bonnet to the body when fitting to make sure you don't pull the body too tight because the bonnet won't pull in enough. This was for the G46 but might apply to Sammios and Cordites.
Body filler over the joins and then use the spreader to reopen the cut lines before the filler dries.

WCA, that's a good idea using the spreader... Perfect gaps!
