Glen,

Best of luck with the historic vehicle program for the Cobras, seems like a sensible way to go. Would absolutely love a ride in your FIA and if you make it to California, would be delighted to return the favor.

Stay safe as well ... one and all.

Moving forward....to the nose

I need a "splitter" for the nose, so made up this panel....

Cheers,
Glen

So as mentioned, I'm 'on the nose'.

First off, I fitted the indicators. Because of the curvature of the body, the way the indicators were going to sit was pointing down somewhat and splayed outwards. Looked a bit odd, so made up a 'wedge' for each indicator that pulled them back into line somewhat. Wedges were made from high density polyurethane sheet.

More to follow...

Headlights come next, so time for a photo shoot of the front end. Opened the front garage door for the first time for a long time

Cheers!

Sorting through some older pictures related to my car. Came across some earlier pics of the wheels....working on the car, you become a little complacent about some of the really nice features of our Cobras, so just had to post this one....

Cheers!

Now he has a nose badge

I had a little challenge to be able to secure the nose badge as the body thickness (it is carbon fibre and kevlar reinforced) is more than it would normally be.

Not sure about what to do on the trunk lid; the AC badge is flat and the trunk lid surface is curved, so will think about that before drilling any holes

Suggestions?

Cheers,
Glen
