Nice work, Ron. Something special about those Morgans.

Interesting how the classic designs are a clever combination of basic shapes.

Beautiful work Ron! I have a set of new factory hood panels I'm fitting and wire edging for one of those now.

thanks fellas,

Tim back in the late 1990's I would make hoods 4 or 5 set's at a time
My plan for this car is a Super Sport style hood with the Weber carb scoop
although with the Rover engine you don't need it. I just like the look.

That's a great looking hood Ron! I had never worked on a Morgan in my life, and 2 years ago a customer brought in a 33 super sport he was building, and I had the privilege to build a whole new body for it. Never had seen one of these cool old 3 wheelers! Now there are a few Morgan guys coming around!

Then on to the front.
I have a used set of steel ones that are to be repaired.
I can profile off of them to do the alloy ones

I got a little time to work on the hoods since I last posted to this thread.
Still need to weld in the scoop.
Then the only remaining alloy body fabricating are the front wings..
Maybe over the next few months.

Ron
