That's awesome , great work mate - do you mind if I steal your idea for the 2 door ???

That is just the sort of "is that stock or modified??" subtle mod that really gets the crowd guessing.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

That was kinda the original plan - well a lot less subtle than what your suggesting. When the bonnet was hanging in storage I taped blue lines following the 3 tips of the bird to the back of the bonnet to get a visual on what it might look like with a twin bulge set into the bonnet. Closest visual to that would be the bonnet of an RX-8 - it's embossed into the bonnet rather than sitting up proud. But that would require more than hand tools.

Will have a look at the contrails.... hmmmm :think:

Did a separate post on how I made these overriders - https://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewto ... 61#p275061, but I'll put the final results here as well as a reminder to me :roll:
