That's actually the point of the whole exercise.
It had this T-Bird / Buick hood scoop on there, which I've remedied by
removing that bonnet.
The thing just never looked right on a MK2 Sprite, then I got a Sprite hood
from a friend and painted it and put it on the car.
Now I'm just doing the finishing touches like the bonnet catch and lock and
maybe even a prop rod.
I also need to get it a little more centered, seems it's closer to one
fender than the other.
