What would look best ?

My engine stands tall in the chassis.

What would look better

1) standard height body work with a buldge ie avon style.

2) Taller body with no buldge ie Panther style.

Your opinions please

What about bulge but a long bulge with an open end to let the hot air out. Make a nice feature of it.

i've voted tall body work but that would mean buying from gts.

maybe a bonnet bulge it is lol, mind i would say that as i have one.

Macspeedys Indy bonnet looks like a nicer solution. (Currently for sale).

If you can hide a Pinto under there after all...

you can only hide a pinto under an MK bonnet when it's on MK 14" side panels.

ok, you can probably do it in a locost if you drop the engine a bit more, but it's not neccessarily a guaranteed solution.

the MK bodywork's the best styling imo, but i like the overall proportions of an avon, or avoneer's bitsablade (locost with MK GF) for instance.

i say stay as low as you can with as tasteful a bulge as you can

low line bodywork + bulge! always looks better in my eyes.
