my bonnet bulge / cowl
recently i took the wee risk of sending some of my cash off to a complete stranger.
comunication was good tho, so i took the chance.
turn around was'nt too bad either. i posted off some postal orders at the start of the month and yesterday it arived
cheers barneybrendan i'd recomend you.
look at it as some "positive feedback"
heres a few pics for anyone else who may be interested
obviousley it needs a bit of modifing to make it fit the curve on the scoob bonnet, and i'l need to shorten it a bit.
cheers again

3500 and SU manifold only just fits under the bonnet. anything else is going to sit higher. hence the need for the cowling. remember this car was designed to accomidate a tiny boxer 4Eliot wrote:I would go with the stock/sleeper look personally
i'm more and more swung towards EFI anyway, but it should still need the extra space from the cowling.
its a track toy / show car so the look, that the bulge will give should add to its apearence.

lots of the paper stuff spent on that tho. mines is a low budget project, so standard EFI has to take the lead over expensive holley, and ofenhauser bits forgive my spelling due to my lack of money i dont even look at those bits so i dont know how to spell them lol

one day it will run n and i'l be happy
