First got the idea a while ago when looking at pics of the Morris Mosquito.
Took the plunge and cut the bonnet up. Didn't turn into a pretzel, so the two halves have been tacked back together. Doesn't look so much like a Moggy bonnet and I'm pleased with the result so far.

Well it doesn't look quite so good at the moment. Added 85mm of depth to it today. Spent two hours just trying to get it all lined up to butt weld the seams but had to give up. So it's going to have lap welds and I will have to tidy things up later. Also have made up the engine mounts and finalised the position of the engine and gearbox.

Thanks for the link  Interesting project. Personally wouldn't try to copy a previous design, especially one so famous. Not only could I not afford it, I'm nowhere near good enough to pull it off. I prefer the original design for the front end and this I am tempted to nick ideas from. |
