Mike:
Thanks for your suggestion. I have been in communication with kiwi and he has been extremely supportive of sharing some info on the details of the construction of the lower surface of the hood/trunk lids. I have been spending some time in achieving the effect that I want and have enjoyed the challenges. The tubes will be a great addition starting with the Factory Five car as the basis of my build.

Larry:
Yeah you are correct. Thinking and typing too fast (or not thinking enough!). Also, the conduit is more rigid than aluminum tubing and therefore harder to work with. I do not need the steel as it will be cosmetic and not structural. So I have located some AL tubing .75 OD and .65 ID. Should bend easily.

Greatly appreciate the great info I get here on the forum
Best
