Oliver.....Antique tyres do the Firestone Wide-O-Ovals which look great on a Cal-looker. Or are you thinking more slick?

We just fitted these ones to a customers late model looker. Looks even better now with short axles.

That works COOL

I'm hoping to find a abandoned project with all the goodies...........oh I wish

An EMPI bonnet would be cool but wouldn't be able to see the tacho, LOL

A friend of mine made his own EMPI style bonnet by mocking his own 'pods' up in clay and making moulds and grafting them in to a steel bonnet.

With all the talk of fibreglass at the mo, has anyone seen a bonnet like this locally?
