Thanks Dave, this weekend was good one. The thing is, being that we got the left side patterns made we already have the bulk of the work done for the passenger side. We have to fix a few things and redo some of the inner because of the accident damage we found but that has already been looked at and figured out.
Here is another little piece I am working on. I modeled up some scissor style hood hinges and the fab shop cut these parts out with the laser.

These will be for the hood. I want to put some sort of cowl scoop on the hood and extend it back to the windshield. If you know how the astro hood opens, you know I can't do that using the stock, single point, hinge.
The scissor style will let the hood open more vertically and "should" keep it out of the windshield. I need to do some mock-ups to figure out positioning.
This is the hinges closed. I will make some mounting blocks to lock down the hinge pivot points and get some pics.
