My first curved tunnel top didn’t do it for me, I wanted more curve.

 

So I spent some time curving the mould a lot more, and then laid up Mark 2

 

 

Once this has cured I trimmed the panel and cut a gear-lever hole out and then offered it into the car

The next step was to make a panel to close off the front section of the tunnel.

 

Hardboard and cardboard template started

 

 

 

I then spent some time working on making the shape of the mould nicer so it will be easier to trim once finished.

 

 

Once happy, I laid up some grp on it

I struck the mould off, trimmed the panel and then offered it into the car along with the curved panel

 

 

 

 

I then offered the dash back into position. I now need to work on the bottom of the dash to close the bottom corners neatly onto the tunnel top.

 

I am pleased with how it is coming together though.

You should be, impressive work IMHO.

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

That’s coming together really well, I wondered how you’d done the forward tunnel cover section.

[KugaWestie]

Bottom of the dashboard in the corners extended, they need sanding and a bit of filler next

Today I moved the Cobra into the front garage, which meant it had to be driven for the first time. SOUND ON WHEN VIEWING 😊

 

 

[NickBW]

That sounds amazing. Great work so far. 

[KugaWestie]

Part of the reason for moving things around in garages was to put the Cobra on top of this.
