Hi Getting to the point of fitting the "pretty bits".
Does anyone have suggestions for body panel supplier other than GTS.
I need the taller version to cover a pinto.

Cheers

Thanks Guys.............

Looks like it may be "make your own" my build has been a bit of a pig since the start, bought a part built project and nothing is right.

It would have been cheaper to start from scratch.......

If that avatar's your car with the Pinto in it already, why not make an ali bonnet and make/put a small scoop on?

Make your own bonnet out of ally, ours was good until we had 3 engine changes and several holes in the bonnet.

We're about to make another in a couple of weeks.

I have some photo's on my website which shows parts of the process. The bends were put in using a local lamp post.

Check pages 24-25.
