At the rear of the bonnet will be induction air intake for the carbie as well as a set of engine gauges. There is a fair gap because of the 3 1/2 inch roof/windscreen/dash drop. Also neatly hide the wipers.
The front spoiler air dam is necessary because the new malloo radiator hangs so low and will look a bit silly without the spoiler. We are making a mould if your interested. Haha.
If in doubt..chop it.

trying to hurry but life is getting in the way lately "angryy:
Here is the latest large fuel tank, going to need lots of litres with a V8, so we have shoe horned in a XG Ute tank. It almost fits without modification, just had to take a bit of floor out at the rear, only about 30mm or so. It has a central seem that just bolts in, we used a rubber and bitumen seal and now have to run the filler pipe around the back with a few 90 degree bends, we found that a commodore filler neck fits neatly in the original FB filler port. The spare tyre will have to stand up in the back like a trophy now, but what can you do...

Bloody Brilliant ! Getting in and out will be a ritual with the knee knockers as low as they are .
True appreciation of this lies with those who have a vision and dared to be different themselves. Keep up the good work on your Mild FB .
