Wknd update...I planned to open the can o worms by cutting open the hood . I'm dropping a proper 6 - 71 under the hood and leaving the resin hood closed, seemed like a waste.
A few slow cuts w razor saw had the resin cut away..no turning back now ! After the hood was free , I chose a different path. Let's make a new one from tin !!! The material used is from K&S , I cut a section and folded it over the kit hood . Half round ribs from evergreen rounded it out
Making both sides , then hinge w music wire inside alum tube also from K-S . I made 3 sections, gluing a strip of 020 plastic to each for better strength. Heres how it turned out
Now everyone can peek under the hood !
I'm waiting for some fenders mount images to fabricate those so they'll swing out properly.
