.............or maybe it never fit correctly in the first place!!

You are doing it justice though, lovely job. Nice to see the internal structure of the car follows that of the original fairly well.

Be a lots easier to build a pick up- I mean if you are going to rape an E-type why not do it propper like.!

The E type, indeed a great looking car. I remember hearing somewhere that all E type bonnets are made just a bit too long, then adjusted to fit the individual car - I wonder if the kit bonnet fits better !

That's looking very nice John.

First round of buffing done 3M seems to work well will buff the bonnet tomorrow to give the paint more time to set.
