A guy a know (with a modified Morris Minor) had a friend who purchased a
Californian import to the UK, box spridget. The container the car was
shipped in had a motorbike in it which had broken loose and damaged the
Spridget. The Spridget had a steel one piece front that was to all intents
and purposes wings and bonnet welded together along with flared wheel arches
and I guess, a lot of bondo.
It was INCREDIBLY HEAVY.

<< Has anybody under took such a project? I am really thinking about it and
after modeling a bit in our CAD application I think it'll work providing
that the monster bonnet (hood, fenders, center section) all bolted\welded up
is strong enough to support itself and not bend. Some reinforcing may be
needed. Just wondering if anybody has tried it. Any photos would be
appreciated.
I have seen it done only to the bonnet, but it pivoted into the grill area
and thus needed grill removal. Next time I see a bugeye with that mod, Ill
need to pay more attention
Thanks
