The Brookfields Special

[Howard Wright]

Thanks Ian and Duncan

The scuttle curve was formed using my RK bonnet as a template so it should be similar to Austin's.  The lines of the bonnet top, hinge and bottom continue straight across the scuttle.  This does make for a narrow cockpit! 

I've used 12mm ply to try and simulate ash framing.  It will be more holes than ply when I've finished attacking it with the hole saw!. There is no steel to support the rear of the scuttle, rear bulkhead or the tail of the car. There will also be doors and I hope the thickness of the ply will act as a good frame for them.

I may resort to aluminium for the scuttle top and tail but I fancy having a go at an all plywood car al la "Gordon England".  My previous special was aluminium on ash car.

Thanks for the comments and help.

Cheers

Howard
