    Are you going to leave the hood corners at 45 degrees like that or will you round them off?

    Most important to me is that the line follows the line of the headlights.

    I realized that soon after. One of my favorite Pit Crew builds has this style hood, I love it.

    One of the only things I don't like about the Pitcrew front end is when the original hood is used, unmodified. Seeing the squared off notches that go around the OEM pop-up lights just makes the whole thing look slapped together. I like what you're doing with the hood. It makes it look more like the care was designed that way.

    A company in the UK called Ratsports makes them.I found these on the british Ebay. Search for Lucas p700 over there.
    I plan to make it soul red. With some gold accents.

    Looks tidy, I like very much how the lines flow! Maybe you could add a small (10mm or so) radius where the leading edge meets the beginning of the diagonal cut, but it may become hard to keep an even gap with the bumper and fenders then. Cannot wait to see this in a single colour!

    Better pictures of the work done on the hood.

    The Pitcrew nose is made of less layers of fiberglass than the Simpson hood. So the headlightcovers received some extra treatment.

    Have you decided on a color yet? Or do we have to wait for that reveal?

    I'd propose silver... except you already have a silver NA! Maybe some interesting shade of light blue?

    Maybe halfway between the two.

    That's an insane parts hoard, and the project is coming along at a drool-worthy pace. So awesome.
