Not too cold in the garage so decided to start on making paper templates for the GE Cup
Hood. Using wallpaper lining paper to make patterns. Hoping to make the top of the roof in one piece,
Plus the rear and sides in a single piece as well. May put some inner flaps on the sides to cut drafts and t allow the sidescreens to be snug( ( I live in hope!)

Planning to have a small storm flap to cover the gap between the wooden spar that sits on top of the windscreen.

Also making the hood fabric in such a way that it detaches entirely from the frame, as does the hood on my Triumph TR3A. The GE Cup frame is a bit complicated with several hinges and metal bits apart from the hood sticks and doing it this way allows the frame to fold up very small & neatly plus let’s the separate hood fabric be folded into its own storage bag.

Going to keep me busy till I get my Covid Jag!!
I’m using the same navy fabric used on the Tonneau , “as used on Silver Cross Prams”!!

Still some thread to buy and the clear plastic for a rear window, Already got all the  plastic piping for edging, the lift a dots and press studs etc

Still figuring out how to cover the sidescreen frames etc. And if my sewing machine is up to it( it is very hefty though)
