yeah you look like you know what your doing but i thiught i would add it just it case. Actually I've got no bloody idea, making it up as I go along! I took the angle grinder and reduced the thickness of the lip around the bulge so that when I glass over that it won't stick up as high... |

Yeah screwed down 3 in the front and 2 at the back to hold it in place while everything dries. It should stay in place with the sikaflex, but I don't wanna chance it. After I've fibreglassed the top, I'll remove the bonnet then see if I can fibreglass it at all at the bottom too - just for extra strength. And paint the underside of the bonnet black as the white gets far too dirty. And then I'll remove the screws. |

Not knocking your work, it looks good, but i can see exactly where its been grafted, has it been smoothed properly? Or is it just the pictures?
