Roadster - Thanks.

This current round of chopping & changing definitely falls into the "overcoming obstacles" category.

At least I now have enough experience of working with fibreglass to know that this mess can be fixed with some more effort.

For example, I woke up early this morning still thinking about these mismatched profiles at the corners.



There is actually a taper in the scuttle corners, which obviously transferred to the mould & therefore the new rear edge piece.

This has resulted in the corners pointing "inwards", making it harder to produce a smooth join to the rest of the bonnet's wheel arch curves.

So I will need to do some more butchery on these new corner sections to realign them and then have another look at how the join itself will work.

However, that can wait until the middle section of the bonnet has been rejoined, making it easier for me to check the overall alignment.

Although before I do anything else, I might just go back to bed for a bit!

Cheers, Paul.
