We have been asked to build an A352 with D Type features, reverse engineering if you will, on a Spitfire base for a customer in Denmark. He has already delivered his LHD 1500 Spitfire to Gary's "Mid Century" workshop for conversion to 6 cylinder power and RHD, with the modified body shell following from the Tribute workshop next week.
The body will be changed to a flip front in place of the normal A352 bonnet opening and the large boot lid closed back up to a D Type style spare wheel cover.
Work in progress, with shell fitted to our rather scrappy Spitfire "workshop jig" shell:
The old GRP Spitfire/GT6 bonnet has been canibalised for its inner structure to mount the new flip front to.
