Back to fabricating chit this week. Radiator top panel was the wrong shape for my needs, it was too low at the ends and too high in the middle, I needed low and straight so I'm in the process a fabbing a new one, the reasons for this will become clear later on. The centre section unbolts to make getting the engine out a lot easier.

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what I made this wacky piece of architecture for?

looks to me like it could be to get the correct air cleaner to bonnet clearance,hood scoop, hence lowering the rad panel,

For mounting controls next to the drivers seat?

Or a mount for your top fuel style wing?

How do you manage to work doing all this???? Are you in the House of Lords or something....

Hah, hardly! I'm in charge of a busy commercial workshop with around 150 vehicles under my control, they break down and get smashed up on a daily basis so it's hectic. I work 6 till 2 weekdays and occasional Saturdays as well. On weekdays I work 2 till 5.30 on the car, I'm very organised and motivated and work reasonably quickly if I get no interruptions. Evenings I do whatever "normal"stuff needs doing. Weekends I work on the house and try to get in a bit of leisure time. It can be done, if you want it enough...
