Captain's Log Supplemental:
I had just started getting stuff together for the Christmas dining table, when the skies started to lighten up.

I still didn't trust it enough to start any more fibreglass work, but there was another car chore I could do.

I gave a first rough sanding to the fibreglass filler I'd applied to the bonnet lip the other day.



Then I made a cardboard template of the angle on the passenger side.



Which I could then reverse to help me mark up the driver's side.



With a best fit line drawn I cut along the filler and then marked up & trimmed the bottom edge of the bonnet lip too.



Unfortunately, I also managed to cut straight through the scuttle in one area.



At least this meant I remembered to lift the body shell up when I cut the bottom edge next to the master cylinder.



Here is the overall view of the bonnet lip now.



Although it is slightly easier to see with the dust sheet removed.



As before, this is not a perfect job by any means, but overall it is pretty good and it will certainly do.
( Although there is still some fine tuning with filler required to get an even gap across the whole thing. )

Anyway, I've really got to go now, cheers, Paul.
