At the rear of the bonnet will be induction air intake for the carbie as well as a set of engine gauges. There is a fair gap because of the 3 1/2 inch roof/windscreen/dash drop. Also neatly hide the wipers.
The front spoiler air dam is necessary because the new malloo radiator hangs so low and will look a bit silly without the spoiler. We are making a mould if your interested. Haha.
If in doubt..chop it.

trying to hurry but life is getting in the way lately "angryy:
Here is the latest large fuel tank, going to need lots of litres with a V8, so we have shoe horned in a XG Ute tank. It almost fits without modification, just had to take a bit of floor out at the rear, only about 30mm or so. It has a central seem that just bolts in, we used a rubber and bitumen seal and now have to run the filler pipe around the back with a few 90 degree bends, we found that a commodore filler neck fits neatly in the original FB filler port. The spare tyre will have to stand up in the back like a trophy now, but what can you do...

Good to see some progress 8)
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Bloody Brilliant ! Getting in and out will be a ritual with the knee knockers as low as they are .
True appreciation of this lies with those who have a vision and dared to be different themselves. Keep up the good work on your Mild FB .
