I'm not to keen on the fibreglass bonnet for the SandScorcher so I've made a rod for my own back, okay it's a bloody expensive way to achieve what I want but hopefully I'll end up with a steel properly opening and closing bonnet. Work in progress  ;-)up

I wasn't going to post any pictures of bonnet etc until it was in primer but have decided it can be seen in its raw state. A little more panel beating is required and obviously some light skimming of body filler.
Once it's on gas rams I will put a second bonnet catch on so I can release the primary lock then the safety catch so it opens on its own for filling with fuel ⛽️

Started on the chassis, modified the front to accept A arm suspension the bottom plate will stay off to allow access for the gear change cable and the heater hoses. Oh I do like getting carried away  ;D
