Hi everyone , I've been busy moulding again .

I have taken a mould from my stock original 67 hood , the first one came from the mould today and the fit is damn near perfect . The lip round the edge is solid fibreglass so you won't be able to use a clip on seal , but they will fit well onto an original seal .

The first one has a steel hinge panel from a rotten bonnet bonded in and works perfectly on the hinges . I will be doing fibreglass hinge panels this week .

I can do them as a single skin race weight to use on pins for race cars £180 ,

Or with the return lip and hinge panel for £250 .

Cheers, Rob

I haven't weighed them yet , but the one in the pictures weighs about 2/3 of the original steel one . I'll do a paper thin one for you Richie !

What is the everlasting buggy Erich ?

Basti , I have moulds for bonets , gasser bonnets , front and rear fenders , flared front and rear fenders , engine lids....... what more do you people want !

Only joking , but I am starting to run out of room for moulds !

Er... Sadly, it wasn't from a rotten bonnet, but from a perfectly good one that used to be on my car, I butchered to see if it would fit..  LOL.  

This being said, the Bonnet is fantastic.   Would recommend anyone buy one.  Grin

If someone wants to lend me a really good pair of oval wings , I could take a mould ! Moulding process would wreck the paint so only lend them to me if you plan to repaint them .

Thanks , Rob

Hi Rob,
I would be interested in light weight doors, especially if they fit as well as your other stuff does
