Thank you that was very interesting

didn't someone here have one that had rust on the supports under the bonnet?

Oh yeah, what about ute tray covers for the ute people here?
they are always whinging about getting those

YEAH lobster im going to make ute covers
,I waiting to hear from afew people with wrecked utes with front hits so i can cut the front off and put it on a frame with castor wheels to move around the factory .
Then i can make a start on it .........

120fly have you considered making a plug from scratch for the GX bonnet? I am thinkin that someone round here that has one could take plenty of photo's and measurements, & perhaps trace thye main character lines out or something like that, and then just go from there. you might not get it perfect but I'm sure they would still sell as long as it was close enough that you had to put it next to an original to pick the difference (i.e within a few mm for all the measurements)

im keen on those kick panels you had bin talkin bout before, have they bin muolded yet, will they take a speaker how much and when can i get sum???

p.s. congrats on the business wish you all the best, i'd love to check out the shed once its all underway

I agree with Grunterhunter. If youre planning on doing that much work to the bonnet before taking a mould off it anyway, just spend another hour or two making the GX hump on a standard bonnet. Have to be cheaper than $400 for you too. I don't think you're going to get one for that money, and most people probably won't be willing to sell one to you to destroy for any price! i think the exclusivity of the GX bonnet is siomething most GX bonnet owners would prize more than $400.

If you were going to take measurements and make new fiberglass hoods I would love to see a modified GX hood rather than a standard GX one. Have a much higher raise in the center/bulge for even greater engine/hood clearance, and put some aero function to it like a ram air vents. Or have a raised center bulge and have it go into a cowl induction style vent at the rear of the bulge. At least with something like that you could have it look cool AND actually do something (cool off the engine bay more or run a ram air setup. Up in Japan they remade stock type hoods for 1200's in carbon fiber that had some ducts, but it was styled kinda tacky (they're available on Yahoo Japan usually). This is what I'd have in mind:

Gotta love nostrils. every muscle car should have nostrils

Would look tough and upset the pontiac GTO brigade

Especially on a CA or SR converted car cos it would be quicker than a GTO as well

Hey i am loving htis GX bonnet idea

120fly i was wondering if you could list the products you are planning on making for our dattos?... I am keen on getting a coupe round dial cluster to replace mine because it is cracked like many others!! would be great to get a fibreglass one of them

Keep up the good work mate. I am a Business Graduate one more semester to go and wouldnt mind going into small business one day, could even drop by and check out your everyday running one day hehe

Cheers
