Bonnet continued..
While the board was in place I got under the car and drew round the profile of the bonnet ready for when I needed to cut it.
I have continued soaking the cloth and moving around the weights, reducing the weights until I thought there was manageable spring back.
Then off with the board and ready to cut the profile.
During the night the board had dried and it had lost a lot of its shape so I cut the profile anyway
Then sanded the areas at he touch points to make it fit the hole.
Once done I marked out the cut lines for the bulge cut around the lines and placed some spacers to lift the bulge.
Once cutting out the bulge lines the board has started to reshape itself to the wing profile, I am sure with a little bracing from the underside the required shape can be achieved, I am now toying with the idea of making the bulge vented….. more work there then, what do you guys think?
