Beautiful work. Very classy. Is that two hood prop rods I see? Those are FD seats, correct? Very nice!

thanks for the comments guys,

took me a while to figure out what the 2 hood props were ha ha i know them as a bonnet stay.

Yep just get another one and you bend it the opposite way for the other side it looks quite good.

Yeah the seats were from an FD just had them custom re-trimmed very comfortable but a bit of a pain to fit

someday.
