Sorry for the double post!
I've been working on the hood pivot for the hood. I'm glassing in parallel panels into the snout. The hood pivot bolts to these and then bolt to the frame with hinges. The entire hood can be removed by unbolting 4 bolts. The panels, when closed, become the duct for the radiator. The air flows through the radiator then down the sides of the frame. Air from the radiator does not enter the engine compartment.
I also have been working on the hood bulge. Years ago I got some hood vents that Bill Hough made for a Cobra. I'm incorporating them into the hood.
I'm hoping to finish the fiberglass work that needs to be done on the exterior of the body today. Then the body can come off and I can finish welding and start assembly. While I'm doing that I will continue with fiberglass work on the underside of the body.
I'm having fun but it seems like it takes me 3-4 times to get every little thing to fit or work correctly.
