I know a few guys with bonnetless hotrods who drive in the rain/ wash their cars with water and dont have any probs. Just means the engine might need a quick chamois afterwards as well... :wink:
I'm the same, bonnets barely on the roadster anymore. Rain is only an issue if you leave it parked in the rain for 4 hours striaght! Seems water gets in everywhere :oops: As for chamoising the motor, it dries once warmed up a bit :wink:

Flutes done at Romanos Rod Shop here in Adelaide. He's a cool guy with some real nice cars. Think he's the last local person that does it, it's a bit of a dying/ lost art I reckon. It feels real 60's which is exactly what I want 8) 8)
