Hi all first disappointing bit of the kit so far, spent 2 hrs trying to get the bonnet to fit, still not happy with it not sure what to do next to improve fit.

 

[Tworrs]

Very neat build there Ken, I do hope you get the bonnet sorted to your satisfaction.

Looking gorgeous ken , im sure you’ll sort the bonnet problem cheers tony

 

[tigersteve]

I think it's a lovely build, if it were mine I'd display with the bonnet open anyway !

Hi Ken
With the engine so well done bonnet open would be a good idea. Would that help with the poor fit of the bonnet?

Looks great with the bonnet open to show off the engine, if it were me I would leave it that way.

You really are making a lovely job of this Ken.

Looking good Ken. Is there going to be a heat shield on the exhaust to save the passenger's elbow?

Not sure I could bring myself to spend that much money on a kit but to be honest it is tempting. Does look nice.

Started some weathering (don't want it to look showroom condition) I also don't want it to look like an old jalopy. Looking at the pics looks like the rear hinge has broken free (again)
